Record Temperatures on Black Friday?

Today will be an exceptionally warm day with highs in the 60s but record temperatures seem a bit distant especially in New York’s Central Park however they are within reach at other locations and it will depend on clouds ultimately.

Clouds to the west are from an approaching cold front which as of this morning is producing lots of shower activity which is in now in range of both radars below. Nothing is coming close today so shop in peace knowing that rain will not be here causing issues. Models continue to show not much in the way of rain tomorrow when the front comes through though spot showers are possible during Saturday. Highs Saturday might still be well into the 50s until the front comes through but that is also a little tricky. 40s look to be the story for Sunday and Monday.

 

The National Weather Service updated rainfall forecast map is forecasting a quarter of an inch or so of rain. When you look at the radars right now I could see how that is justified because it is hard to envision all that rain falling apart so fast. On the other hand the nam model forms a weak wave that brings through a separate area of showers Saturday night into Sunday morning before skies clear out later Sunday. We will watch that trend today to see if it continues.

 In the meantime enjoy our journey to the warmest November on record!
