Temperatures Headed Higher Into Thursday
Ahead Of Cold Front Rain & A Cold Weekend
The latest shot of cold air is moving east and offshore and winds are going south southwest which will allow temperatures to bounce higher. The rise today should take highs into 50s area wide except perhaps for coastal locations dealing with the usual afternoon ocean wind issue. Satellite loops show areas of cloud cover to the northwest moving southeast and we will be dealing with this from time to time. Otherwise it will be no worse than a mix of sun and clouds. Radars are quiet for today with no shower issues.

The next cold front is on the way and it will play out pretty much the same way as the Sunday into Monday cold front that we experienced. Severe weather will break out from Illinois to Western Pennsylvania and we do not expect this area to extend eastward. Rain will arrive Thursday night and the last into the first part of Friday morning as the cold front passes and slows as it goes by.
Once again we will have to wait for a wave to develop on the front to push it far enough south and allow for weather conditions to improve. Friday at best will be a cloudy day with some lingering rain or showers around. Much colder air will come in Friday night and Saturday which sets up a cold dry weekend. Thursday is going to be a day of clouds with some sun in the mix. Highs will be in the low to mid 60s northern areas from Northern New Jersey north and east and mid 60s to near 70 degrees South Jersey and Southern Pennsylvania southward.
Thursday night we will get into rain and there might even be a rumble or two of thunder until the front passes south. Friday we will still be cloudy and as we said earlier there will be some lingering rain or showers around especially from New York City and Long Island south. Temperatures will be settling in the 50s and there will be a raw feel to things. By Saturday morning we will be in the mid 20s to near 30. Saturday looks to be a sunny breezy cold day with highs only in the low to mid 40s. Sunday looks dry and a little warmer with some sunshine. Highs Sunday should make it back to into the 50s in most places.
