Showery Rains Into This Evening

Week Ahead Unsettled With Onshore Flow & Several Weather Systems

Today is not necessarily a washout of a day but it is going to be another gloom & doom type day so typical of spring. We have an onshore flow thanks to weak high pressure in Eastern Canada. We also have weak low pressure and a weather front pushing east but the moisture field with this system is weak and somewhat disorganized as you can see on satellite and radar loops. While it doesn’t rain all day long the risk is there and with clouds and an east wind, temperatures this afternoon will be going no where fast. Highs will be in the mid 50s from NYC north and east and upper 50s to lower 60s elsehwhere.

We will probably see showery rains around from place to place and time to time into the first part of tonight. Then this weather system will push off to the east. The problem is there the pressure profile behind the front is weak. Weather systems will be moving across the US from west to east this week, taking more southern tracks overall  and this makes things somewhat problematic as far as weather conditions go from day to day.

There are 3 weather systems ahead of us this week. The first approaches late Monday and Monday night and while it brings the chance for some showers, the track seems more to the south. While we wait for that system to go by, Monday looks to be a day of cloudy to occasionally partly sunny conditions. Temperatures are a tough call but with more of a light southwest wind verses an onshore wind, highs will be in the 70s.

Tuesday looks also to be a day of cloudy to partly sunny conditions as we have dry air around and no strong flow of air either onshore or offshore. Temperatures Tuesday should reach the upper 70s to around or just over 80 inland. Local sea breezes are likely for south and east facing shorelines where temperatures will be cooler.

Wednesday and Thursday we have yet another weather system to deal with and that means again, cloudy to occasionally partly sunny conditions with temperatures reaching into the 80s away from the coast Wednesday and 70s Thursday. As low pressure approaches Thursday we will have to evaluate the risk for showers and thunderstorms and whether there is going to be any severe weather risk. Onshore flow and rain could be an issue Friday and there is shower risk next weekend as low pressure develops offshore on Friday and a cold front from the northwest brings a chance for showers late Saturday into Sunday.
