Good morning folks!! We’re still here careening through the Cosmos together on this giant alive creature called Earth.
As the Grateful Dead used to sing, what a long strange trip it’s been, indeed!
As for our weather, we’ve got a gorgeous day ahead today, but it’s cold out this morning with temps in the 20s and 30s.
However, with light southwest flow, those temps will rise nicely into the upper 40s to low 50s, so chilly, but manageable for sure with plenty of sunshine. High pressure will scoot off the DelMarVa Peninsula today and track east, helping to form one atmospheric embankment of tomorrow’s south-to-north moisture and wind siphon into New England.
Lows tonight will drop into the upper 20s to low 30s with clouds increasing during the second half of the night, so we will cool off before the mid/high level cloud deck rolls in.
For Monday, we awaken to overcast skies, and a storm system on our tails. Due to strong southerly flow, highs will be very mild, reaching to the upper 50s to low 60s!
A powerful upper level low will dive into the northern Ohio Valley / eastern Great Lakes region and capture and phase with a surface cutoff low pressure system tracking east-northeast through the Tennessee and southern Ohio Valleys.
The surface low will bomb out, and track northeast through PA and NY, staying to our west and keeping us in the warm sector of the storm system.
With the aid of the aforementioned high pressure system off of the east coast circulating clockwise and driving southerly wind and moisture into our region, so will the counterclockwise-circulating low to our west perform the same function.
This will generate a very strong low level jet streak (i.e. faster moving river of air about a mile above our heads vs. the jet stream which is several miles up) that will cranking at 75-100mph, roughly!
As rain arrives by late morning and lasts through the day and up until about midnight tomorrow night, strong southerly wind gusts will arrive by later afternoon and certainly by early evening, and should blow 30-50mph at times, with some over 50mph gusts quite possible in the high terrain east of the CT River.
This is enough to cause some isolated power outages and/or wind damage in spots.
With heavy rain of 1-2″ expected, street flooding is also possible in some areas.
Lows tomorrow night will be in the low 50s with patchy fog expected, as strong, mild southerly flow continues despite a dry slot punching through the region after midnight.
With much of the rain to our northeast Tuesday, we will still be under the influence of this broad upper low to our northwest, and so some showers are possible at times, though it should just be a mostly cloudy day with highs in the mid to upper 50s.
By Tuesday night into Wednesday, the upper low tracks more north of us, putting us in a more northwesterly, colder steering flow, which will generate some lake effect snow showers, so we could see mixed rain and snow showers Tuesday night into Wednesday in the SVT, WMass and northwest CT.
Lows Tuesday night will be in the low 30s and highs Wednesday will only be in the upper 30s to low 40s.
Thursday and Friday look to feature fair weather as high pressure builds into the region, with highs in the low to mid 40s and lows near freezing, with more rain possible on Saturday.
Have a great day, and be sure to check out my comfy-warm hoodies, sweatshirts or long sleeves for the incoming cold season below, thanks!
