Damp and Raw. Next Round of Rain on the Way…

 

Synopsis:

Areas of drizzle and fog this morning. Another area of low pressure will move into the region by mid-day with a second round of steady rain.  Temperatures will be above freezing throughout so icing will not be an issue.  The sun will return by Wednesday as a cold front moves through.

January will make it’s presence known by Thursday as the cold air ushers in.  There is an outside chance of a bit of light snow or snow showers on early Friday. This remains to be seen as a weak low forms. Where this development occurs will determine if any of the white stuff makes it into our area. At this time it doesn’t look to be a big deal.  The cold temperatures will be the main story. Another low will move up and off the coast over the weekend.  At this time it looks to remain offshore. Stay tuned.

Today:

Morning drizzle and patchy fog will turn into a steady rain by mid-day and during the afternoon. Highs in the lower to mid 40s. Northeast wind at 10-15mph with higher gusts.

Tonight:

Periods of rain. Steady temperatures. Lows in the lower 40s in the City, the 30s inland. Northeast to West wind at 5-10mph.

Wednesday:

Tranquil New Year’s Weekend…

 

Synopsis:

New Year’s weekend will be tranquil with temperatures above average. A mix of sun and clouds is expected as high pressure dominates the Northeast.  A stray shower or flurry is possible at the stroke of midnight tonight as a cool front works through.

Periods of rain and drizzle are expected for the beginning of the week along with mild readings.

Looking down the pike much colder temperatures are anticipated and an area of low pressure may form along the East coast late next week or into next weekend. Could this be our first real threat? Stay tuned.

Today:

Partly sunny. Breezy. Highs in the lower to mid 40s. Southwest wind at 10-20mph.

Tonight:

Partly cloudy. A stray shower or flurry is possible.  Lows in the mid 30s in the City, near 30º inland. Southwest wind at 10-15mph.

Sunday (New Year’s Day):

Mostly sunny and mild. Highs in the upper 40s.

Monday:

Sun & Clouds. Windy. Isolated Snow Squalls…

 

Synopsis:

An intense storm over Eastern Canada will cause gusty winds in our area today.  A mix of sun and clouds is expected.  The atmosphere will be unstable and lake effect snow streamers may make it down to the trip-state area.  These snow squalls will be isolated, but if you are in its path a brief period of heavy snow and high winds will occur.  Again, many areas will just be windy under partly sunny skies.

New Year’s weekend will be tranquil weather wise with temperatures in the lower 40s with a mix of sun and clouds.

Periods of rain and drizzle are expected for the beginning of the week along with mild readings.

Looking down the pike much colder temperatures are anticipated and an area of low pressure may form along the East coast later next week or into next weekend. Could this be our first real threat? Stay tuned.

Today:

Partly sunny, windy, colder with isolated snow squalls. Highs in the upper 30s to lower 40s. West wind at 15-30mph.

Icy Spots this AM. Periods of Rain. Wet Snow/Rain Inland.

 

Synopsis:

***Use caution this morning North and West of the City as a thin glaze of ice has formed where temperatures are below freezing***A cold front will move toward the area today. A storm will develop on the front.  Rain will develop in the morning.  Wet snow is possible well inland. The system is moving way to fast and it is just too warm at the surface to support accumulating snow along the urban corridor and coast. Inland it should be cold enough for a coating of snow this morning before the changeover to rain. By late evening a few inches of snow is possible over Lower NY State and interior CT.  Possible snow amounts graphic above. Colder weather will move in to end the year.

Today:

Morning wet snow/sleet North and West to the City may leave a coating of ice and snow before changing to rain otherwise, periods of rain elsewhere. A period of wet snow is possible later in the afternoon and evening North of the City which may leave a couple of inches. Highs in the lower 40s falling into the 30s by sunset. Southeast wind becoming Southwest and increasing to 10-20mph by later in the day.

Tonight:

Partly cloudy.  Lows in the mid 30s in the City, the mid 20s inland. West winds at 15-25mph with higher gusts.

Friday:

Partly sunny, windy and colder. Highs in the upper 30s.

Saturday:

Partly sunny. Cold. Highs in the upper 30s.

Sunday (New Year’s Day):

Cooler Sunshine Today. Rain/Wet Snow Thursday…

 

Synopsis:

Spring-like temperatures of Tuesday will be replaced by cooler readings today as high pressure works in.

A more significant cold front will move toward the area by Thursday morning. The computer models develop a storm on the front.  The analyzation of the latest guidance is a yawn for me with snow for our immediate area on Thursday. The system is moving way to fast and it is just too warm at the surface to support accumulating snow along the urban corridor and coast. Inland it should be cold enough for a coating of snow by late evening with a few inches possible over Lower NY State and interior CT.  Possible snow amounts graphic above. Colder weather will move in to end the year.

Today:

Partly sunny with highs in the mid 40s. Northwest wind at 8-12mph.

Tonight:

Partly cloudy.  Lows in the mid 30s in the City, the mid 20s inland. Winds becoming Southeast at 5-10mph.

Thursday:

Rain mixed with wet snow, especially inland. A period of wet snow is possible later in the afternoon and evening North and West. Highs in the lower 40s falling into the 30s by sunset.

Friday:

Partly sunny, windy and colder. Highs in the upper 30s.

Saturday:

Partly sunny. Cold. Highs in the upper 30s.

Sunday (New Year’s Day):

Partly sunny. Highs in the mid 40s.

Spotty Showers This AM. Sun Returns, Spring-like…

 

Synopsis:

A moist Southerly flow ahead of a cool front will cause spotty showers this morning. Any showers will end by mid-day. The cold air is lacking behind the front. Temperatures will feel more like Spring as the sun returns.

A more significant cold front will move toward the area by Thursday morning. Some of the computer models want to develop a wave of low pressure close the the region.  The European map above taken verbatim is the most vigorous of the all the models.  Taken verbatim, rain would go over to a period of snow with some accumulations all the way to the coast (not my forecast at this time, but stay tuned). Rain will develop Thursday morning. It should be cold enough for wet snow to be mix in and then a change to snow for a time, especially inland. A coating of snow is possible North and West of the City by late evening.  Colder weather will move in to end the year.

Today:

Spotty showers through mid-day, becoming mostly sunny. Mild. Highs in the mid to upper 50s. Southwest to Northwest wind at 10-15mph with gusts to 25mph in the afternoon.

Tonight:

Mostly clear.  Lows in the mid 30s in the City, the upper 20s inland. Northwest wind at 10-15mph.

Wednesday:

Sunny with highs in the mid 40s.

Thursday:

Rain mixed with wet snow, especially inland. A period of wet snow is possible later in the afternoon and evening. Highs in the lower 40s.

Friday:

Partly sunny. Colder. Highs in the upper 30s.

Saturday:

Partly sunny. Cold. Highs in the upper 30s

Damp Monday. Areas of Drizzle, Rain. Spotty Freezing Rain N/W…

 

Synopsis:

Spotty drizzle and areas of light rain will develop during the morning hours as a warm front moves toward the region. It should be cold enough well North and West for spotty freezing drizzle or light freezing rain (FutureCast radar above). Icy conditions may develop on untreated surfaces. During the afternoon all areas will be above freezing.  A cool front will move through the region on Tuesday morning. Early rain will end by mid morning. The cold air is lacking behind the front. Temperatures on Tuesday will feel more like Spring.

A more significant cold front will move toward the area by Thursday morning. Some of the computer models want to develop a wave of low pressure close the the region. Rain will develop Thursday morning. It maybe cold enough for wet snow to be mix in, especially inland. It doesn’t look a big deal with accumulations, but well inland a minor amount is possible.  Colder weather will move in to end the year.

Today:

Cloudy. Spotty drizzle or light rain. Inland spotty freezing drizzle or light freezing rain is possible. All areas will go over to liquid during the afternoon. Highs in the 40s. Northeast to Southeast wind at 5-10mph.

Tonight:

Periods of light rain or drizzle. Mild.  Lows in the 40s. South to Southwest wind at 10-15mph.

Christmas Day will be sunny and mild as high pressure dominates. Looking into the holiday week, next week- it looks to be uneventful; which for travelers, is a good thing. No major storms are on the horizon.  Spring-like readings will stick around through Tuesday. Colder air will push in late week.

Saturday (Christmas Eve, Hanukkah begins at sundown 4:33pm):
