Fine Last Days of February…

Synopsis:

Fine late February weather will be us  through Wednesday with high pressure dominating. This will result in sunny skies and mild readings.

March will come in like a lion. A storm will develop over the midwest on Thursday and throw a warm front into the area. Rain will develop during the afternoon hours and continue through the night. The storm will transfer its energy to a rapidly developing secondary storm just off the coast of NJ. The exact location of this second storm and how it moves will determine our weather conditons for Friday. Questions that need to be answered: How much additional rain and possibly wet snow will fall inland? How much coastal flooding if any will occur, and how strong will the winds become? The latest computer models have the storm developing a bit farther South. The thinking is rain with some wet snow mixed in North and West will occur. Accumulations maybe hard to come by with much of the precipitation falling during the day. The March sun angle is higher than it was in the dead of Winter and it’ll be just marginally cold enough for some wet snow. These details need to be ironed as new computer guidance comes in.

Stay tuned

Today:

Sunny. Highs in the mid 50s. Northwest to Southwest winds at 5-10mph.

Tonight:

Clear. Lows around 40º in the City, the upper 20s and 30s inland. Southwest winds at 5mph.

Wednesday:

Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 50s.

Thursday:

Becoming cloudy. Rain likely during the afternoon. Highs around 50º.

Friday:

A chance of rain. Some wet snow may mix in North and West at times. Becoming windy. Highs in the 40s.

Saturday:

Clouds and some sun. Windy. Highs in the 40s.

Welcome Change. The Sun is Back to Start the Workweek…

Synopsis:

A change in the weather pattern will occur today through Wednesday with high pressure dominating. This will result in sunny skies and mild readings for later February.

March will come in like a lion. A storm will develop over the midwest on Thursday and throw a warm front into the area. Rain will develop during the morning hours and continue throughout the day. The storm will transfer its energy to a rapidly developing secondary storm very close to the area. The exact location of this second storm and how it moves will determine our weather conditons for Friday. Questions that need to be answered: How much additional rain and possibly wet snow will fall inland? How much coastal flooding if any will occur, and how strong will the winds become? If the storm develops farther to the South the three parameters mentioned will be more severe. If the storm develops farther to the North and East the conditions in our area won’t be harsh. These details need to be ironed out over the next couple of days.

Stay tuned

Today:

It’ll finally dry out. Clouds and sun will give way to mostly sunny skies. Mild. Highs in the mid to upper 50s.

Tonight:

Clear. Lows around 40º in the City, the 20s and 30s inland. Northwest winds at 5mph.

AM Rain Tapers Off. PM Clouds, Late Brightening of Skies…

Synopsis:

The next and last in a series of low pressure systems will work through the region this morning. Steady rain is likely this morning as a warm front and low pressure system affect the region. The rain will taper off midday from West to East but clouds should hang tough as the system moves to our North. Some brightening of the skies is possible.

A change in the weather pattern will occur by early next week with high pressure dominating. This will result in sunny skies, yes well deserved sunshine is on the way!

There has been chatter about an early March storm. All of the computer models do have a storm on the map anywhere between March 1st through March 3rd. The placement and strength of this system is all over the place as you would expect this many days out. Many players have to come into place for this to an end as a significant snow event. It will definitely start off as rain on Thursday.

Stay tuned

Today:

A steady rain during the morning will turn taper off midday. Clouds will remain, although there could be some brightening of the skies. Highs in the lower 50s. East to Northeast winds at 8-12mph.

Back to Reality Today. Turning Colder and Damp…

Synopsis:

An all time high for the month of February occurred yesterday. The temperature at Central Park reached 78º breaking the monthly record high of 75 º set in 1985. The daily record was also broken. Yesterday’s high of 78º shattered the the previous record for the day which was 68º set back. Simply amazing. Some coastal did not bask in the June heat because of a colder sea breeze.

A dramatic change is on the way for today. A cold front will continue pushing South. At the same time cold high pressure will move into New England as a wave of low pressure moves into the area. The result will be on and off rain. It just maybe cold enough well North and West for some freezing rain or sleet at times during the late afternoon (map above).

The on and off rain, freezing rain and sleet will continue tonight.

Unsettled times will continue right into the weekend as several areas of low pressure ride along the jet stream. It won’t be raining all the time, but the grey skies will win out.

Stay tuned

Coastal areas will be cooler. The record for today at Central Park is 68º set back in 1930. Many new record highs will be set, if not shattered.
