As advertised, another tropical-like changeable weather day. One hour
you're taking in the warmth of the sun, then suddenly you hear the
distant thunder. The sky grows dark, the thunder booms and the rain
comes down in torrents....only to be followed by sunshine and the
steamy feel of summer. These bouts of thunderstorms may go on through
a good portion of the night as a cold front approaches. Some of the
storms have the potential to produce damaging winds and hail but the
main threat will be flooding downpours and frequent dangerous lightning.
Monday
may not be as wild and changeable but we can't rule out a few more
thunderstorms anytime from afternoon into the evening. It also will not
be as humid or as warm with highs mainly 80-85.
The threat of a
thunderstorm is still in the forecast for Tuesday but right now it
looks like any that develop would be few and far between. Highs on
Tuesday will be near 80. Wednesday is shaping up to be dry but it will
start getting warmer again with highs in the middle 80s.
Humidity
will begin to increase on Thursday and so will the chance of a
thunderstorm....again. For Friday the 4th, it looks like a typical
summery day from this early view. Some sun, warm and humid but Mother
Nature may provide some fireworks of her own before the day is through.

Hot and humid weather during Saturday led to a few strong thunderstorms
but it should be quiet for several hours into the overnight. On the
other hand, bands of showers and thunderstorms will be approaching from
the west and one or two can't be ruled out late at night or early
Sunday. Sunday afternoon will be very warm and steamy with the threat
for showers and thunderstorms, increasing through the day. A cold front
pushing into this very humid air will trigger the storms and it's
possible that a few will become strong. Some storms will contain
torrential rain, frequent cloud to ground lightning and damaging winds.
We will be keeping an eye on Fox5 SkyGuardian.
While the front
will try to push off shore by Monday, we still won't get a clean break
from the unsettled summertime weather. Temperatures on Monday and
Tuesday will run between 80 and 85 degrees. The humidity will not be as
oppressive but the risk of a shower or thunderstorm will remain in the
forecast for both days.
Finally, Wednesday and Thursday should
be rain free. Temperatures will be climbing into the 80s and the
humidity will make a comeback by the end of the week. In fact, on
Friday the 4th, we may have to deal with a few thunderstorms again.

How fast and often did the weather change in
your area? Sun followed by the crack of thunder, then a deluge then the
sun was back out. Guess what...expect another day just like it on
Monday. Actually, there may be more showers and thunderstorms rolling
through during tonight. Then for Monday, we'll get some sunshine again
but watch the sky for those big cauliflower-looking clouds to billow
up. That's usually followed by the crack of thunder and if you're under
the cell, you'll be doused. Some of the storms could produce small hail
and damaging wind gusts, as well. Highs on Monday will be near 80.
I
think we may have to go through this yet again on Tuesday. The storms
may not be as numerous but they will still be a threat through the
afternoon and evening until the weather front finally passes by Tuesday
night.
Finally by Wednesday, just a mix of sun and clouds
expected with highs in the 80s. More of that for Thursday as it starts
getting very warm with highs well up into the 80s to near 90 in spots.
Friday will feel very summery too along with the next chance of a
shower or thunderstorm, late in the day and at night.

The first full day of Summer turned out to be a
warm Saturday... BUT, the weekend won't end that way. Here we go again
with showers and thunderstorms. They have been an off-and-on occurrence
for nearly the last two weeks. As you know, some have been strong to
locally severe causing extensive damage, whether it be from winds or
hail or lightning.
It might happen again on Sunday as various
weather fronts converge on our viewing area. It will mainly cloudy and
humid. Temperatures will generally be in the 70s to near 80 degrees.
There will be a threat of showers and thunderstorms at just about
anytime, any place through the course of the day. Some may contain
strong winds, cloud to ground lightning and flooding downpours.
The
same weather systems will still be in close proximity on Monday so we
may be going through it, yet again. Some sun is possible with muggy
highs in the 80s. The most active time for the thunderstorms would be
during afternoon and evening hours. They usually calm down somewhat
overnight (although that hasn't necessarily been the case lately!).
Tuesday
may not be quite as active but we can't rule out a thunderstorm or two,
mainly during the afternoon and evening. At least the humidity should
begin to drop on Tuesday as highs reach 80-85.
For now, I'm
keeping the Wednesday and Thursday forecast dry. Any activity would be
isolated at worst. With more sunshine, expect highs to climb toward the
mid 80s.
And then....thunderstorms could be back, Thursday night into Friday.

Changeable weather for all the dads on this Father's Day and the
changeable, unsettled weather will continue through the first half of
this week. It will be much quieter Sunday night -- no thunderstorms
expected -- most of the activity has diminished. It will likely fire up
again on Monday, though. A cold front will be approaching and may
trigger weather similar to what we went through during Saturday
afternoon and night. Thunderstorms could produce torrential rain, gusty
winds and lots of lightning. The first showers could be breaking out
around lunchtime and the threat will increase during the latter part
of the day into the evening and Monday night.
Tuesday and
Wednesday will feature intervals of sun; intervals of clouds and the
threat of a shower or thunderstorm at anytime. The weather pattern has
shifted for the time being so temperatures will also be cooler, running
below normal much of this week.
By late week, the jet stream
should shift a little again so that the chance of showers will diminish
and the temperatures will climb back to mid-June levels.

Day 2 of the heat wave produced temperatures between 90 and 95 degrees,
even along the shore! Westerly winds held off all cooling sea breezes.
Then some intense thunderstorms developed. Heat, humidity and a little
energy in the atmosphere and thunderstorms popped throughout the north
and west suburbs then moved southeast across Connecticut and Long
Island. They will all diminish overnight. They did cool down some
communities for a few minutes but as soon as the sun returned, the
temperatures soared again and the humidity was higher.
There
will be no relief over the next few days. The chance of a thunderstorm
is next to nil for Monday. So that means blazing sun through the day
with record breaking heat. Much of the region will be up between 95-100
degrees and the heat index will likely exceed 105. So the heat will be
reaching dangerous levels. The record for Central Park is 97 set back
in 1933.
More of the same for most of Tuesday but there is some
relief on the way. A cold front will approach late Tuesday and Tuesday
night. It will likely set off some thunderstorms during that time. The
front will move offshore during Wednesday morning and we can say
goodbye to the early season extreme heat. Temperatures will still be
warm, but much closer to normal June levels with highs in the 80s and
lower humidity.

Wild weather for Saturday will give way to a calmer, nicer Sunday.
All
of the strong storms will be offshore by Sunday morning. Sunshine, a
west breeze and warm temperatures will provide us with a very nice end
to the weekend. The humidity will also be lower. It's possible that
some cloudiness will mix in during the late afternoon but any showers
that develop should stay south and east of the region. To be safe,
let's not rule one out in a few isolated areas.
Sunday night
will turn cooler followed by a very nice start to the work week.
Monday's high will be back up around 80. Even Tuesday will be
pleasantly warm with sunshine a good part of the day. Later Tuesday,
expect clouds to begin increasing with a possibility of showers
developing during Tuesday night.
Wednesday will be a little more
humid again with the threat of showers or thunderstorms at any time.
They may not be as numerous on Thursday but the possibility for one or
two still exists.
The hurricane season officially starts today,
June 1 but the first tropical storm of the season has formed a day
early. It's named Arthur and was located near the Yucatan. It was weak
as of this writing with 40 mph winds.

How great is this!?!? Perfect weather for the mid-portion of our
three-day holiday weekend. It looks like it will continue through
Memorial Day. High pressure will hang on just long enough to bring a
mostly sunny sky. Southwest winds will transport even warmer
temperatures our way as well. It will likely reach 80 in many places,
away from the coast. Parts of New Jersey and the Hudson Valley may even
break into the low 80s for awhile. Along the shore and all beaches, the
southwest wind will be coming in off 55-60 degree water temps so it
will likely turn about 5-10 degrees cooler during the afternoon and
evening.
There is a cold front approaching. It's the same one
that has been causing havoc out west with severe thunderstorms and
tornadoes. It won't be that intense here but showers and thunderstorms
are likely from Monday night into Tuesday. Tuesday will be in the 70s
and even a bit humid.
The front is expected to push offshore
early Wednesday. So any showers leftover during Wednesday morning will
give way to clearing by afternoon. A fresh breeze and lower humidity
with highs in the 60s. Beautiful weather is expected for Thursday and
Friday with highs back into the 70's.

Great weather will continue through the Memorial holiday weekend! The
clouds that moved in for a few hours on Saturday will clear out
Saturday night and lows will drop into the lower 50's in New York City
and 40s in the suburbs.
Sunday will feature even more sunshine
and warmer temperatures. Expect highs to climb into the middle 70s.
Late in the day, the breeze may switch around and come in off the ocean
so coastal and beach temperatures will drop back into the 60s.
And
for the holiday itself, warm daytime highs of 75-80 can be expected
with a good amount of sun. Some clouds will start to move in later in
the day. Also, beach temperatures will be several degrees cooler once
again during the late afternoon.
There is a weather front
approaching but any showers or thunderstorms should hold off until
Monday night at the earliest. They are more likely on Tuesday. Tuesday
will actually feel more like mid June with highs near 80 and somewhat
humid. Thunderstorms will be around at any time.
By Wednesday,
the front will push offshore and clearing will begin with lower
humidity and comfortable daytime highs near 70, right into Thursday.

The sun was shining for Mother's Day but clouds are moving in Sunday
night ahead of yet another rainstorm. This is part of the same system
which spawned the severe weather in the lower Midwest across to the
mid-Atlantic coast. Fortunately, the severe weather will not make it up
here but the rain will. The rain may come down hard at times,
accompanied by a strong wind off the ocean. Temperatures will struggle
to get much above 50 and all in all it will be a miserable start to the
work week.
The storm will move away during Monday night and
improvement should begin on Tuesday. With the sun returning, expect
highs to get back into the 60s. The best of the week will be Wednesday
as a sunny sky will get the thermometer close to 70.
Unsettled
weather could be returning though during Thursday in the form of clouds
and showers. More showers are expected for Friday, too.

Saturday's intervals of clouds and sun
will give way to a clear sky overnight. It will cool down to near 50
around New York City and 40s in the suburbs. It looks like the clear
sky will stick around into at least Sunday afternoon making Mother's
Day mostly sunny and pleasant. Daytime highs will approach 70 before
clouds begin to increase late in the day.
The next wet weather system will be
arriving during Sunday night into the beginning of the workweek. Once
again, a moisture-laden, low pressure system will douse our region
starting before the Monday morning commute and lasting throughout the
day once again. The rain may be heavy at times as well accompanied by
gusty winds, all making it very similar to what we went through on
Friday. Expect Monday's highs to stay around 50 degrees, nearly 20
degrees below normal.
Improvement is expected on Tuesday
into Wednesday as temperatures get back to springtime levels. The next
chance of showers will follow on Thursday.

A damp start to Sunday was followed by a beautiful afternoon and
there's more weather like this on the way. Finally, a better weather
pattern has evolved over the northeast part of the nation. Gone is the
persistent east/northeast wind off the ocean with its clouds, drizzle
and cool temperatures. The next few days should feature a pretty good
amount of sunshine sending daytime highs up to around or a little over
70. The only exception will be along the shore where late day sea
breezes will keep it cooler.
However, it won't be a perfect week
of weather. A few weak weather systems will be passing through. Timing
them out is a little difficult but none are expected to be strong or
cause major problems. As of this writing, there is a chance of a shower
or two late Tuesday or Tuesday evening, then again Wednesday night into
early Thursday. The next chance after that is anytime on Friday.
But
the overall outlook for the next five days is better than what we just
went through. It will look and feel more like early May.

Another dreary day across the tristate region. Clouds,
gusty winds off the ocean and temperatures in the 50s made it feel more like
early April. However, a cold front will pass the region late tonight and early
Sunday. Showers will accompany the front, anytime from midnight on. They'll last
into early Sunday.
Even though it's technically a cold front, the wind will
shift to the northwest behind the front. That means milder air will blow across
the region and temperatures will actually be warmer behind the cold front. In
fact, with enough breaks of sun, the daytime high may be able to reach
70.
The weather will be quiet for a few days next week.
Sunshine is expected and near to slightly above normal temperatures can be
expected. So Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will have highs within a few degrees
either side of 70. Nights will be around 50 with 40s in the
suburbs.
The next chance of showers will come late Wednesday,
Wednesday night into part of Thursday. It will clear out during Thursday
afternoon and temperatures will be near seasonal levels to close out the
week.

Clouds and showers started our Sunday then a few places were lucky
enough to get some breaks in the clouds But the wet weather will be
returning quickly. This next weather system is a combination of waves
of Low pressure on a warm front then the cold front has to pass
through. All of this will begin late Sunday night and will take at
least 12-18 hours to pass.
Rain and fog will begin prior to
Monday morning sunrise so the morning commute is expected to be wet.
Rain will be with us most of the day, off and on, varying in intensity.
A few rumbles of thunder are also likely. When the cold front
approaches during the Monday evening commute, there may be some
thunderstorms with downpours, continuing til about midnight.
The
bulk of the weather system will have passed by Tuesday so expect some
improvement. But the airmass will still be unsettled and a few showers
could still pop up at any time. Daytime highs should be able to get
back to around 60.
Wednesday and most of Thursday will be
better. A mix of sun and clouds and temperatures in the 60s. A few
showers may return Thursday evening into the night but clearing is
expected for Friday and temperatures will get back to the delightful
70s.

Very changeable weather conditions expected much of the week.
Clouds
and showers will be around during Saturday night. There may even be a
thunderstorm. The showers should leave during Sunday morning and we
could see a few breaks of sunshine during Sunday afternoon. If so, the
daytime high will be able to get back to around 60; 50s along the shore
because of the ocean breezes. This is about 5-7 degrees below normal
for this time of year.
Weather maps indicate the weather will
get worse before any signs of getting better. A stronger low-pressure
system with its warm front/cold front combination will affect our
region from Sunday night into Monday night with periods of rain and
thunderstorms. Some of the rain will be heavy at times.
Even
Tuesday will remain unsettled with a lot of clouds and leftover
showers. This will keep it rather cool as well with highs again only in
the 50s. There are signs that improvement will slowly begin during the
middle of the week. As sunshine begins to return, temperatures will
moderate back up to near normal levels before the week is through,
perhaps even back up near 70 by Friday.
