Warm Into Tuesday Showers Thunderstorms
Late Tuesday Night Into Wednesday Morning
The warmer temperatures that developed yesterday continue today an what has been a sunny weekend so far and it will finish up with a mostly sunny Sunday across Eastern Pennsylvania to Southern New England. High pressure is sitting along the Mid Atlantic coast. Light south to southwest winds will take temperatures up to the lower 80s in most inland areas. Temperatures will be a little lower along south and east facing shorelines. It will be a clear warm night ahead. Some patchy areas of low clouds and fog could form by morning but it will be localized. Most lows will be in the 50s inland and low to mid 60s coast and warmer urban locations.

The new week begins warm and with no rain through the daytime Tuesday. The high slides further offshore Monday. We will see sunshine taking highs to the upper 70s and lower 80s in most places though temperatures will be a few degrees cooler along south and east facing shorelines of Long Island, Southern New England, and New Jersey.
Another warm night lies ahead Monday night into Tuesday morning with patchy areas of low clouds and some fog. Otherwise Tuesday will be no worse than partly sunny for most of the day. There is an approaching cold front to our west that will be getting closer Tuesday but not close enough to bring showers here during the dayside. Highs once again will reach the lower 80s inland and mostly 70s along the coast.
Humidity levels will start rising Tuesday as dew points reach into the low and middle 60s so you will notice it. The cold front that will be coming through later Tuesday night will likely produce a line of showers and maybe even one or two thunderstorms in the mix. This will be the first rain in almost 2 weeks for most of the area but unfortunately it does not appear to be a long lasting soaking rain. The front does seem to want to move right along from west to east.
Much of the shower activity should be done near or before daybreak Wednesday and it might be enough to throw down a half inch or so of rain with a little luck. Some places could wind up a little higher and others a little lower. The front offshore keeps on going and you can expect to see improving weather conditions Wednesday but it will be on the chilly side as a new air mass builds in.
Northerly winds will bring down much cooler air from Eastern Canada. Temperatures Wednesday will be mostly in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees and then they will drop to the 40s in most places except for warmer urban locations and the coast closer to 50 degrees by Thursday morning. Thursday will be very cool with some sunshine but highs will only be on average in the lower 60s for most places.
Friday looks to be dry and mainly sunny with highs in the 60s. Then next weekend there is a little uncertainty regarding the onshore flow that develops and lower pressures to the south. It may mean more clouds this weekend and we won’t really warm up much due to the high pressure areas going to the north and east. So far the Columbus Day weekend could turn out to be ok with little or no rain but it is something we will need to monitor in the coming days.
