Beautiful Tuesday Afternoon 70s Everywhere
Beautiful Tuesday Afternoon 70s Everywhere
We are enjoying an absolutely beautiful afternoon of sunshine. Temperatures everywhere are in the 70s with a nice west breeze. It is a picture perfect day across our region. The strong upper air low is now well east and it is helping to bring in nice dry air in here. The west wind and the strong May sun are all combining to send the temperatures skyward.
2PM TEMPERATURES & WIND
The west wind is strong enough that it is keeping the sea breeze at bay even along coastal areas. The sea breeze may come in very late this afternoon or this evening over Long Island and coastal New Jersey so keep a light jacket handy just in case. To the west in the Plains we have a potential serious outbreak of severe weather developing late this afternoon and this evening. This system is not headed here and the next real important weather change won’t come until late Friday. Local radars are quiet and will remains so into Thursday.

REGIONAL RADAR
Wednesday we will heat up even more and highs will reach the 80s in most places though it may be a bit cooler along coastal areas. We should have another day of plenty of sunshine.
WEDNESDAY’S FORECAST HIGH TEMPERATURES
On Thursday we will see temperatures push the edge of the envelop and climb well into the 80s away from the coast. Low pressure going by to our north will produce some showers and thunderstorms in upstate NY. Most models keep showers away from here so for now we will cautiously leave them out of the forecast. The best chance Thursday for a shower or thunderstorm will likely be north of Route 84 in NY State.
NAM MODEL FORECAST 8PM FRIDAY MAY 4, 2018
Friday sees a more important cold front approaching but it probably won’t impact the area until Friday evening with some showers and thunderstorms. Highs will be in the 80s again. Cooler weather follows for the weekend. For now we will lean optimistic with some sun and clouds with highs in the 70s.
