A Chilly Wednesday With Sunshine Clouds But No Rain Thursday Into Friday
A Chilly Wednesday With Sunshine Clouds But No Rain Thursday Into Friday
It is a cold day and we have to go back to last April to find a day where temperatures didn’t get out of the 40s. For many areas today that will be the case. We also have continued wildfire risk thanks to a north wind and extremely dry to drought conditions that continue until further notice. It will be a mostly sunny day and very much a true autumn day with nothing showing up on the radars anywhere in the Northeast and Middle Atlantic states.

Low pressure is moving through the Great Lakes later today and tonight and it will have a trailing cold front. Rain and some thunderstorms will occur from the Great Lakes to the Ohio & Mississippi Valley. It is yet another system that has the look of bringing much needed rain to the Northeast and Middle Atlantic states but it will fail to do so.
Low pressure out in the Atlantic near Nova Scotia and Newfoundland is not moving much. High pressure in Eastern Canada is wedged in from New England to the Middle Atlantic. That forces the low to move southeast and take rain into Pennsylvania but it all moves south and southeast to Virginia and North Carolina and then out to sea to the east.
Tonight should be clear for much if not all of the night with cold morning lows in the 20s inland and low to mid 30s warmer urban areas and the immediate coast. How low we get temperature wise will depend on the wind. Thursday we will have lots of clouds around and some breaks of sun with highs in the low to mid 50s. As the low moves away Friday look for decreasing clouds and highs in the mid to upper 50s.
The weekend will be dry with sunshine for both Saturday and Sunday with highs reaching the upper 50s to near 60 Saturday and lower 60s for the most part for Sunday. Next week the atmosphere will be undergoing some major changes and in that mix will eventually be a colder pattern developing across the Eastern US and we will likely have a new hurricane in the Northwest Caribbean that may make a run for South Florida. It remains to be seen how much moisture heads our way for the latter part of next week.
