A Break In the Rain But More Showers Coming Thursday & Friday
Rain overnight has moved out to the east and we are actually going to catch a bit of a break today. A stalled frontal boundary however still looms large across New Jersey back to Pennsylvania and the Ohio Valley. Moisture is moving from west to east along that boundary but it should sink a little to the south. At least it should sink south enough to allow dry air from the north to seep in. Skies today will range from cloudy to partly sunny at times depending on your locations. Most highs today will be in the upper 40s and lower 50s.
SATELLITE WITH LIGHTNING STRIKES
WEATHER RADAR
There isn’t much going on radar wise. There are a few showers across parts of Maryland and West Virginia but those will just play themselves out today and are not an issue. Clouds however will return tonight as the next wave of low pressure develops in the Plains and heads for the Upper Ohio Valley.
Thursday we return to the land of gloom and doom with cloudy skies and waves of rain coming through. To the north we have a cold high in Eastern Canada and some of that cold air bleeds down into Southern New England and the Hudson Valley along and north of Interstate 84 for the most part though we will need to watch and see whether that colder gets a little further to the south. Those areas will see a change to freezing rain late wihursday into Thursday night.
Notice the range in high temperatures Thursday. Central New Jersey north and northeast highs will only be in the lower 40s and we will see temperatures drop into the 30s inland late Thursday and Thursday night while South Jersey and points could reach the 50s or higher but this will depend on exactly where the frontal boundary sets up. Often times the colder air wins out and pushes further south than previously advertised.
Precipitation ends Friday morning but there will be a lot of leftover clouds around as an onshore flow will still be in place and most highs will be in the 40s. Over the weekend wind direction changes to south and southwest Saturday which should bring sunshine and also warmer temperatures. Highs will reach the mid 50s north to mid 60s south. There might be a few showers Saturday night as a cold front goes by and then we should see some sun return Sunday with area wide highs in the 60s.
