Temperatures Climb Rain Wind Thursday Night Into Friday Morning Dry Weekend
The atmosphere is priming up for wind and rain Thursday night into Friday morning. Our snow cover will be gone by Friday morning. Most of it will be melted away today with some sunshine followed by arriving clouds. Highs will reach the mid to upper 40s with lower 50s across Southern New Jersey, Southern Pennsylvania and points southward. There are no issues on the radar today. Tonight temperatures will stay well above freezing and bottom mostly in the upper 30s and middle 40s. Clouds will continue to increase as moisture comes in from the south.

WEATHER RADAR
A strengthening storm moving across the Upper Ohio Valley will head to Upstate NY early Friday morning. Coupled with a strong high offshore the pressure gradient will tighten up and it will become breezy Thursday and Windy Thursday night. The first High Wind Watches are up for Southeastern New England to Southeast Connecticut and Suffolk County on Long Island. I suspect we will see wind advisories going up for much of the area. Winds will likely gust 35 to 40 mph inland and 40 to 50 mph along the coast during Thursday night.
Expect rain to arrive during Thursday evening and there will be some heavy downpours during the overnight. Rainfall amounts for Eastern Pennsylvania to Southern New England will be on the order of a half to three quarters of an inch. For now it seems flooding will not be an issue even though we do have melting snow cover. If amounts were in the 2 inch plus range it would be a different story.
Temperatures Thursday will reach the upper 50s to lower 60s ahead of this cold front and then once the front moves offshore, weather conditions will improve on Friday with decreasing clouds, increasing sun and winds that will be stronger in the morning than in the afternoon. Temperatures Friday will ease through the 50s. The weekend looks cold but dry. Saturday will be breezy with some sun and clouds. A secondary front will be moving through with not much with it. Highs will be in the low to mid 40s. Sunday we will have sunshine with highs also in the low to mid 40s.
