The Road to Gloom & Doom Weather
As We Head Into the Memorial Day Weekend
The heatwave ended a bit violently yesterday evening as the cold front passed and showers and thunderstorms rolled though. The cold front responsible has moved to the south but still lies fairly close to Eastern Pennsylvania to Southern New England and needs to move a little more to the south before we can see any kind of genuine improvement. We have rain to deal with into this afternoon but this area that is on radar will gradually sink southward late today. Temperatures with an east wind will be mainly in the low to mid 60s which is 30 degrees or more lower than yesterday. We will not be back to 90 degrees anytime soon.

WEATHER RADAR
High pressure builds into Upstate New York and New England tonight and that should allow for some breaks in the cloud cover in most places. Most lows Friday morning will be in the upper 40s to mid 50s. We should see some sunshine Friday certainly to start but the onshore flow does strengthen as the day wears on so clouds will start to increase. Most highs will be just in the 60s though there may be more sun north and northeast of New York city so those areas could see temperatures a little higher.
The old cold front stalls across Virginia/North Carolina tonight and rain that develops along and north of that frontal boundary will move northward Friday night and overspread Eastern Pennsylvania to Southern New England Saturday, first arriving in New Jersey early in the day and a bit later for Long Island and Southern New England. The wind from the east over the cold ocean means a gloom & doom scenario of rain, an east wind, and high temperatures just in the 50s to around 60 at best.
For thje weekend it appears that we are looking for a total of 3/4 inch to 1.25 inches of rain. It will continue to rain Saturday night into Sunday morning but gradually a low developing on the frontal boundary will move off the coast of New Jersey later Sunday morning and that should allow the rain to end from west to east, improving things somewhat in the afternoon though temperatures Sunday will be in the upper 50s and lower 60s for much of the time. Monday to me looks like a better day with clouds and some sun for Memorial Day. We can’t completely rule out a passing shower due to an upper trough but there should be enough sun to take temperatures back into the 70s in most places. Monday is definitely better of the 3 weekend days.
