Rain Continues On & Off In Gloom & Doom Pattern More Rain Sunday
Self Destruct Sunshine For the Week Ahead
The first round of rain overnight continues this morning as low pressure reforms along the Virginia coast. This is going to be a day of on and off rain and an easterly wind. This is the perfect scenario for the gloom and doom set up. Temperatures today will be going no where with most highs in the low to mid 50s except perhaps areas from Southern New Jersey and points southward where it could get above 60.
A quick cursory survey of overnight rainfall amounts show that we received anywhere from 3/4 inch to an inch an a quarter of rain so far in Eastern Pennsylvania to Southern New England with more to come today. While much of the rain on the radar has moved out of Southern New Jersey and Southeastern Pennsylvania for now, to the north and east of there into Southern New England the rain is likely to be a bit more stubborn as this first weather system basically comes to a grinding halt.

The gloom and doom pattern continues overnight into Sunday as the east wind continues and we being to turn our attention to a developing low to the southwest on an approaching cold front. This sets up the next round of rain which will develop from south to north during Sunday and the move up into New England later Sunday night. Low pressure develops and takes a track right along the immediate coast.
The winds will continue to blow from the east or east southeast during the day Sunday which means that this will be another day where temperatures will struggle. Most highs will likely be in the upper 50s to lower 60s at best. Temperatures will probably hold around those levels into Sunday night until the low goes by to the north. Rain will be ending from south to north Sunday night and much of the area should be done with by midinght or shortly afterward.
We will see some improvement for next week if that is what you want to call it because we will still be under a blocking pattern. That is going to at least keep the atmosphere aloft cold and unstable through at least Wednesday. You will notice on the surface loop below that the Sunday night storm sits in Eastern Canada and then actually drops southeastward to off th New England coast Wednesday.
Monday Tuesday and Wednesday will all be days of what I will refer to as self destruct sunshine where the the sun is out early in the morning which in the cold unstable atmosphere causes clouds to develop and eventually showers. This will be the case while the blocking pattern is in place. Highs Monday Tuesday and Wednesday will be in the 50s to around 60 at best. Wednesday could be the day where we see the most in the way of showers before the low following pulls away to the east. Another cold front will approach later Thursday with another chance for some showers late Thursday or Thursday night followed by another chilly Canadian air mass for the end of next week.
