It was a hot Monday with low humidity
This was the second day of a potential heat wave for the city. Daytime highs reached 95 at LaGuardia, 93 at Central Park and 92 at JFK. These are all record breaking temperatures for June 12th. High pressure sits off the mid-Atlantic coast as a cold front crosses the Great Lakes region. This front will bring a chance of showers and possible thunderstorms late Tuesday. Behind the front is Canadian high pressure. This high will bring a cooler air mass to the region with highs falling to the upper 70s and low 80s with overnight lows from the upper 50s to the low 60s. The chance of rain increases late in the week as a warm front approaches from the west. Due to the hot and stagnant air mass an AIR QUALITY ALERT has been issued for Tuesday from 10AM – 10PM.

This is the second heat wave of 2017!
90+ weather comes to an end as a cold front moves through tonight. Unlike Monday, only one location recorded record breaking temperatures. LaGuardia recorded a high of 98 degrees. This broke the old record of 97 set in 1961. Central Park and JFK both recorded highs of 94degrees. So for the day, we were 13 to 17 degrees above average. A cold front will bring scattered showers and possible thunderstorms to the city tonight. Some storms could be strong with gusty winds, small hail, vivid lightning and heavy rain. With the passage of the cold front, our winds will become northeasterly as high pressure over southeastern Canada moves southeast and off the New England coast Wednesday. Pleasant weather is in the forecast through Thursday under a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the 70s and 80s while overnight lows fall to the 50s and 60s. Late in the week, a warm front will advance from the west bringing clouds, scattered showers and possible thunderstorms from Friday through the last weekend of spring 2017.

Nice weather through Thursday!
Pleasant weather is in the forecast through Thursday as high pressure slowly moves off the northeast coast. Unsettled weather returns Friday as a warm front approaches the region from the west. This front will bring clouds, areas of patchy fog and a chance of showers Friday and Friday night. The front will begin to break-down by Saturday as it crosses the region. A south to southwest flow of warm and humid air takes over late Saturday through Monday in advance of a cold front. This will keep a chance of showers and possible thunderstorms in the forecast until the front passes on Tuesday. We’re a week away from the Summer Solstice which begins on Wednesday, June 21st at 12:24AM.

Unsettled weather through the weekend
An approaching warm front will bring unsettled weather to the region through the Father’s Day weekend. Scattered showers and areas of fog are in the forecast for Friday followed by scattered showers and possible thunderstorms for Saturday and Sunday. By Monday, a cold front will cross the region and stall off-shore bringing periods of rain that may be moderate to heavy at times and may generate a few thunderstorms. Drier weather returns to the region by Tuesday.

Unsettled weather through Monday
We’re going in to the Father’s Day weekend under a mostly cloudy sky and a chance of showers and possible thunderstorms into early next week. This is due to an approaching warm front moving in from the west and forecasted to lift north Saturday. Behind the warm front is a warm and humid air mass enhanced by a Bermuda high. A cold front will cross the Ohio valley late Sunday through Monday bringing a chance of moderate rain with a few embedded thunderstorms to start the new work week. A weak area of high pressure could give us a break from the wet weather by Tuesday.
Darryl -
An Evening of Storms
We’re currently under a warm and very humid air mass with a cold front approaching from the west. This front has the potential to trigger strong to severe thunderstorms through this evening. The Storms Prediction Center has placed our area under an ENHANCED RISK for strong to severe thunderstorms through this evening. The primary weather hazard is damaging winds. However, some storms may bring periods of heavy rain that may cause flash flooding. Hail is also possible. The National Weather Service has issued a SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH until 8PM Tonight and FLASH FLOOD WATCH until 4AM Partial clearing and lower humidity will take place Tuesday as weak high pressure builds in behind the front.

Quiet weather here as the tropics become active
Tuesday’s weather is much nicer compared to Monday’s storms that brought rainfall amounts from 1.12 to 1.35 inches and winds gusting from 34 to 41 mph. Other than a slight chance of showers due to a series of weak fronts, we should be in pretty good shape through mid-week with highs in the in the low to mid-80s and lows in the 60s and 70s under a variable sky.
The tropics have become active as there is a tropical storm (Bret) moving eastward across the Caribbean Sea and “Potential Tropical Cyclone 3” (a new designation created by the Hurricane Center which allows them to issue advisories prior to a storm being named). This storm is over the Gulf of Mexico and approximately 355 miles southeast of Galveston Texas, moving northwest at 10 mph with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph. Much of the Gulf coast will likely get periods of heavy rain Wednesday and Thursday. As a result, a Tropical Storm watches and Warnings have been issued from the upper Texas coast eastward to include the Louisiana coast.

Heat and Humidity Returns
High pressure over the Ohio Valley will move off shore generating a very warm and humid air mass (a Bermuda High) over northeast as we end June and begin July. We may have a day or two of 90-degree weather, but at this point, it does not look like we will have a third hear wave of the year over the next few days. A cold front will cross the region Sunday, bringing showers and possible thunderstorm which will push temperatures back from the upper 80s and possibly low 90s to the mid-80s early next week.
Darryl -
Looking Good for Independence Day
A weak cold front brings a slight chance of late day / evening showers and possible thunderstorms. The front clears tonight and followed by Canadian high pressure that will bring a partly to mostly sunny sky on a drier north to east wind. Independence Day looks very nice with highs around the mid-80s and overnight lows from the mid to upper 60s. By Thursday, a southerly wind will bring increasing clouds with a chance of showers and possible thunderstorms as early as Thursday night through Saturday.
Darryl -
Wet Weather through Saturday AM
Low pressure moves over the Tri-state area tonight through Friday as a weak cold front crosses the region Friday night through Saturday. The front will trigger morning showers and possible thunderstorms followed by partial clearing Saturday afternoon and Saturday night as high pressure returns to the region, making Sunday the best day of the weekend. Another round of showers and possible thunderstorms return late Monday through Wednesday as a slow moving warm front approaches the region.
Darryl -
Heat and Humidity Continue to Rise!
A weak warm front will bring a rise in the humidity this evening with a slight chance of a shower and possible thunderstorm. A cold front will approach the area late Tuesday and stall for several days as areas of low pressure ride along the front. As a result, our weather will remain unsettled with a chance of scattered showers and possible thunderstorms through Friday.
Darryl -
Heat Wave Number 3?
This is day-two of the third potential heat wave of 2017. Heat and humidity continues to build across the region as a large ridge of high pressure over the southern plains pumps brings another round of uncomfortable weather to the region. Heat index values are forecasted to reach the upper 90s during the late afternoon and early evening hours. As a result, The National Weather Service has issued a HEAT ADVISORY until 8pm this evening. Due to our stagnant air mass, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has issued an AIR QUALITY ALERT until 11pm tonight. These conditions will continue through Friday with only a slight chance of an isolated shower / Thunderstorm tonight as a weak cold front crosses the region. This front will stall to our south becoming stationary. This will bring a better chance of showers and possible thunderstorms from late Saturday through Monday. High pressure builds in from the northwest early next week giving us a break from the “dog-days of summer”.
Darryl -
After a wet start to the week our weather will gradually improves as high pressure builds in from the west. The effects of the high will not felt until late Tuesday as an upper level low keeps clouds and a chance of showers in the forecast through the first half of Tuesday. At this point, Wednesday looks to be the pick of the week under a partly to mostly sunny sky and highs from the upper 70s to the low 80s. By Thursday, the high begins to move off the New England coast as another storm system approaches from the west bringing clouds, showers and possible thunderstorms late Thursday through the first half of Saturday.
Darryl -
The clouds have taken over as high pressure sits off the New England coast. A cold front is approaching from the northwest will become stationary across the tri-state area Friday. Our weather will remain unsettled as waves of low pressure rides along the front through Saturday. The second half of the weekend looks to be the best half a Canadian high pressure returns the region to pleasant weather through the middle of next week.
Darryl -
Not as nice for the weekendWe’re looking at three straight days of very nice summer weather as high pressure begins to pull away from the city. Friday will be a day of transition as a slow moving cold front advance east giving us an unstable weather pattern from late Friday through Monday of next week. Increasing clouds, slightly higher humidity and warm temperatures are in the forecast with a slight chance of a few scattered showers by Friday night. By Saturday, we’re looking at a better chance of showers and possible thunderstorms that may produce periods of heavy rain. Sunday looks like the best day of the weekend under a partly to mostly cloudy sky with a slight chance of showers. Like last Monday, we’re looking at clouds and periods of rain followed improving weather from Tuesday through Thursday of next week.Darryl

Clouds and a chance of showers from Irma in the ForecastHigh pressure has given us very nice late summer weather and will now begin to move southeast of the Tri-state area. This movement will allow a weak cold front to approach from the northwest. Clouds and showers are in the forecast through the first half of the weekend as remnants from Irma approaches from the south.Darryl
-
Clouds, showers and possible thunderstorms that could bring periods of heavy rain are in the forecast as a trough of low pressure lingers around the Tri-state through Friday. Our weather does improve for the weekend as a weak area of high pressure moves in from the southwest extending our current pattern of humidity and above average temperatures into the new work and school week. Jose has been downgraded to a tropical storm as of the 11AM advisory and moving slowly in a WNW direction over the western Atlantic. Jose must be watched through the weekend and early next week as it could have an impact on the east coast. At this time, it looks like high surf and the potential for coastal flooding can be expected from North Carolina northward.Darryl

The Last Weekend of Summer 2017Other than a slight chance of afternoon showers and storms on Saturday, the last weekend of summer 2017 looks pretty good. It will remain humid under a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures still a little above average for mid-September. As of the 11AM advisory, Tropical Storm Jose is southwest of the Bermuda and moving northwest at 9mph. Jose is forecasted to strengthen to a hurricane by Saturday morning and come close enough to the east coast to trigger ocean swells, high surf, dangerous rip currents and beach erosion for ocean facing beaches this weekend through Wednesday. At this point, it does not look like Jose will make landfall around the Tri-state area.Darryl

Little change in our weather through mid-week
The high pressure that has given us several days of summer weather in early fall is moving out as Hurricane Maria moves north. A cold front will push Maria east from mid to late week and away from the city. However, Maria will continue to generate dangerous condition for the ocean waters such as; high surf from 6 to 10 feet, leading to a high risk of rip currents, as well as a small craft advisory for hazardous seas through Thursday. Once the cold front passes, a gradual cool down begins as temperatures falling from the mid-80s to the upper 60s from Wednesday through Saturday.
