Following yesterday’s heavy showers and thunderstorms, our weather pattern takes a complete turn. A few spotty showers and thunderstorms have flared up again this afternoonas some upper-level instability remains in place, but a stretch of beautiful weather follows. Humidity begins to ease today before dropping significantly tonight as a strong area of high pressure builds…
After yesterday’s record-setting heat and humidity, the weather story shifts from heat to air quality as smoke from Canadian wildfires spreads across the Northeast. The same backdoor cold front bringing slightly cooler, less humid air has turned our winds to the north, allowing the thickest part of the smoke plume to settle across much of…
A quieter day is in store today as showers push well south of the region and a dry, seasonable air mass spreads across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Tomorrow, a wave of low pressure lifting along the stalled frontal boundary to our south, combined with an approaching cold front from the west, will bring another round…
Extreme Heat Warnings have been expanded across much of the Northeast as a large ridge of high pressure establishes and sustains an unusually intense heat wave through the balance of the week. Combined with moderate humidity, temperatures well into the 90s will create dangerous conditions, with heat exhaustion and heat stroke becoming a concern for…
High pressure extends from the Great Lakes through the Tennessee Valley and Mid-Atlantic today, bringing dry and comfortable conditions across the Northeast. As the high gradually moves offshore, clouds and humidity will slowly increase tomorrow. A rich supply of moisture and instability remains in place across the central United States and Southeast, and some of…
High pressure over the Mid-Atlantic buckles today as a few low pressure troughs move through the Northeast. These are all week, but increasing humidity and generally more unstable conditions are making conditions at least borderline favorable for isolated showers and thunderstorms; we’re seeing a few today and we’ll see a few tomorrow. The stronger frontal…
It’s already warm and humid today, even though the hottest and most humid air won’t arrive until tomorrow. Heat Advisories have been posted for much of the region as the risk for heat-related illness increases. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will develop at times through the next few days, with some capable of producing heavy rainfall…
Clear and dry weather stretches from the Southeast westward beyond the Mississippi this morning, with shower activity across the eastern United States largely confined to areas near the Gulf Coast. The area of high pressure responsible for this quiet pattern will strengthen and expand eastward over the next few days, allowing progressively warmer air to…
A frontal boundary remains to our south, with showers widespread through the Mid-Atlantic; while this has been lifting slowly northward, but while showers have gotten close, they remain a non-issue for us. High pressure over the Northeast remains strong, leaving us with mainly sunny conditions through the week; a weak upper-level disturbance crosses the Northeast,…
Well, summer had a good run! A cold front approaching today will trigger some scattered showers and thunderstorms as it approaches; we’ve got the potential for heavy downpours and strong storms with frequent lightning and gusty winds – but limited to areas in and around the storms. Behind the main push of strong storms, additional…
