Storm Moving Northeast Weather Slowly Improves Cold Front Arrives Thursday

Our storm continues to move northward and is actually moving along a little faster that advertised last night. There is still some leftover precipitation to get through and there are some scattered rain, and in some cases inland snow showers still running around on the radar. However some genuine improvement should occur during this afternoon with some decrease in cloud cover. Temperatures rose overnight and we will probably be sitting around all day in the upper 30s and lower 40s.

Colder air returns tonight Skies will clear out. Moisture that is on the ground today should dry up once the northwest wind kicks in so there should be nothing around to freeze up. Most lows tonight will be in the low to mid 20s. High pressure builds in Tuesday and we will have some sunshine. Most highs from NYC and Philadelphia south and southwestward will be in the 30s while north and west of a line from Philadelphia to NYC to New Haven, highs will be in the upper 20s and lower 30s.

Wednesday we have another front that will be approaching so that means we warm up ahead of it with some sunshine and highs back to the low and mid 40s. This front will be slowing down as it approaches Wednesday night and there will be a few rain showers with this Thursday morning when it passes. It is hard to see because it is weak, but there is a little wave that develops on the front Thursday morning and as colder air returns this might produce a period of snow. This won’t be anything that amounts to much but sometimes these sorts of systems can produce a coating to an inch or two and we will be keeping an eye on this.

Over the weekend and into next week we are going into a situation where we have a lot of working parts running around in the atmosphere. Very cold arctic air is building up in northern Canada and will be dropping southward into the US. The hanging question is whether that cold air will come in with some sort of developing storm somewhere or will be just a simple arctic front that comes through with systems passing well to south. Having a lot of working parts means another stretch of weather model volatility where each run takes us in a different direction. There hasn’t been any sense of consistency yet regarding the timing of all these troughs and shortwaves. We will let things settle out but given that the pattern has produced 3 storms in the last 2 weeks, it is probably more likely than not that another storm system or two lies in the waiting over the next 10 days to 2 weeks. The winter pattern we are in is likely to continue through the end of the month.
