NYC CLOUDY DRIZZLE LIGHT RAIN BEFORE HEAT RETURNS

NYC CLOUDY DRIZZLE LIGHT RAIN BEFORE HEAT RETURNS

Good cloudy morning everyone. We had a little bit of a surprise develop late last night in the form of a wave that took shape over Pennsylvania, then moved along the old front which passed by late Saturday. This produced a shield of clouds and light rain (heavier rain down south), that moved into our area early in the morning. In the end, all this really does is represent our next very warm/hot airmass coming in.

SATELLITE

While we predicted sun and clouds, that'll be late on arrival today. Expect clouds to remain in the area, with light rain and drizzle till late morning/early afternoon. Then we should have SOME partial clearing in the area, especially just before sunset. We will recover a little bit, and you can expect a humid day with highs in the low 80's except for the immediate coast. REGIONAL RADAR
Everything is gone tomorrow and we go hot and dry. High pressure will settle over the area with light winds and sinking air. That'll heat the entire area pretty good, even at the beaches. Expect upper 80's to low 90's with sunny skies.

We start off Wednesday dry, but then expect humidity to slowly increase throughout the day. We remain sunny and very warm/hot, with highs again in the upper 80's to low 90's.

LOCAL RADAR NEW YORK CITY

Thursday and Friday remain looking very warm and humid. The increased humidity, along with our warm temps, will help give us the chance of scattered afternoon storms each day. Highs will be in the upper 80's in most spots, but cooler at the beaches with an increased seabreeze.

For your weekend, we could get some slight relief humidity-wise, but we remain very warm/hot. We also took away the chance of storms on Sunday, as another ridge builds in and possibly keep the heat going in late week next week. Expect sunny conditions both Saturday and Sunday, with highs in the upper 80's to low 90's.

LOCAL RADAR PHILADELPHIA


In the long range, we could be approaching "heatwave" territory Monday through Friday, but we'll have to keep an eye on the particulars and technicalities to see if we reach the definition of one.
