Key messages

Key message 1

The driest stretch of the year so far likely continues through at least the end of the week.

Upper level ridging spans much of the Eastern US, with a nearby surface high sliding off the New England coast today. Mid and high clouds will continue to stream overhead through this evening as a weak shortwave rides over the ridge in place. Temperatures will be milder than previous nights, generally falling back into the 40s and 50s.

SW flow develops as the high slips offshore and helps to usher in a bit milder air mass. H925 temps climb into the mid teens on Thursday with deep W/SW flow. With better mixing, this should increase afternoon temperatures a good 5 degrees compared to today, with forecast highs around 70 in the NYC metro, and mid to upper 60s elsewhere.

A moisture-starved cold front moves through Friday. Cloud cover increases Friday morning ahead of the boundary, but conditions remain dry and skies clear by mid afternoon once it passes through. Behind the fropa, dry, cooler conditions settle in for the weekend. Temperatures on Saturday fall back from their peak Thu/Fri, with highs back in the upper 50s and low 60s and evening temperatures into the 40s and upper 30s outside of NYC.

Global guidance has trended drier early next week, with high pressure likely remaining in place. Conditions may begin to turn more unsettled by mid next week.
