Tale of Two Seasons This Weekend…

 

Synopsis:

It’ll be the tale of two seasons this weekend.  The warm bubble of high pressure moving off the coast will give us one more Spring-like day today.  A powerful cold front will move through tonight and usher in the coldest air of the season on strong West Northwest winds; it’ll feel like Winter on Sunday.  Snow showers are possible later tonight over the Northern suburbs.  A Wind Advisory has been posted for areas to the West of the City for later tonight and Sunday (These advisories will most likely cover the City and areas to the East later today).  Wind gusts of 45-50mph are quite possible.  Temperatures on Sunday will be almost 20º colder than today.  Factor in the wind and the wind chills will be in the 30s.  A major shock to the body.

The chill will remain with us through the early week.  The weather will cooperate for the big travel day Wednesday.  At this time Thanksgiving looks damp.  Showers are likely with readings around 50º.

Today:

Mostly sunny and warm. Highs in the mid 60s. Cooler at the coast. Northwest wind at 5mph.

Tonight:

Mostly cloudy, windy and much colder.  Scattered rain and snow showers. Lows near 40º in the City, the 30s inland. West Northwest wind increasing to 15-30mph with gusts to 50mph.

screen-shot-2016-11-17-at-2-56-42-pm

Synopsis:

A warm stretch is on the way through Saturday. It will not feel like mid November as high pressure builds over the East coast with the lack of any cold air. In fact, today’s highs in the mid to upper 60s is the average temperature for early May!  Saturday will be the last hoorah for the usual warmth. An energized trough will develop along the East coast by Sunday. This will most likely bring down some of the coldest air this season so far and possibly some snow showers.

Even though parts of the tri-state area received some beneficial rain the last week which helped the dry conditions for those areas, many areas went almost rain-free.  Conditions have now advanced to Extreme drought over the mid-hudson valley.  Parts of Western NJ are border-line extreme as well.  Rainfall deficits for the year range from six to fifteen inches.  Reservoir levels are about 20% lower than the normal capacity of 75% for this time of the year.   No major rainfall is expected for the next 5 days.

Today:

Sunny and warm. Highs in the mid to upper 60s.  The record high is 73º.  The average high is 53º. Northwest wind at 5mph.

Tonight:

Clear. Lows near 50º in the City, the 30s inland. Northest wind at 5 mph.

Saturday:

Partly sunny with readings in the mid 60s.
