Spring Weather Ocean Winds Tuesday
Shower Risks Wednesday Night As Cold Front Arrives
This is the time of year where the strengthening sun means that under the right circumstances of day long sunshine and a warmer than average temperature pattern, you get temperature upside and today could certainly be one of those days where we see temperature finishing higher than what was modeled just a few days a go. South to southwest winds and sunny skies for much of today will take highs to the middle and upper 70s in many locations. The exceptions will be coastal New Jersey and Long Island as well as south coastal New England where the ocean wind will keep temperatures about 15 or so degrees lower during the

WEATHER RADAR
Warm days mean warm nights too as most lows Wednesday morning will be in the 40s with warmer urban locations closer to 50. Wednesday will make it three days in a row where many places see highs in the 70s. We will have sunshine giving way to some arriving clouds as a cold front to the west inches closer. There could be some showers or even an isolated thunderstorm or 2 running around inland late in the afternoon and evening, mostly northwest of the immediate coast.
We have a cold front that will be approaching Wednesday night into Thursday. This front is a little stronger than the one that passed through over the weekend so we expect to see some showers later Wednesday night into Thursday morning. The front is going to slow down as it nears the coast so we will likely see some rain lingering in early Thursday afternoon before the front finally moves offshore. The Storm Prediction Center is indicating that there could be some isolated severe thunderstorms in the mix Wednesday night, mainly from New Jersey westward into Pennsylvania.
The streak of 60 degree & 70 degree plus high will come to an end Thursday. North winds behind the cold front will cool things down Thursday, coupled with the clouds and lingering rain. We could see improving weather conditions Thursday afternoon. Most highs Thursday will be back in the 50s. We are in a pattern of fast moving weather systems as another cold front will approach Friday. We expect to see clouds and some sun with a south wind Friday and highs just in the 40s. Another front passes Friday night. Saturday will see some sunshine with highs back into the 50s. A strong cold front from a major storm heading for the Great Lakes will bring a solid chance for showery rains Sunday night and Monday followed by a rather cold air mass for Tuesday, Saint Patrick’s Day.
