Surprise!

I wasn't expecting to see this when I woke up this morning! We are keeping an eye on the tropics for the first time this season. No cause for alarm. But it looks like a potentially wet end to the week, especially late Thursday into part of July 4th with a slow moving cold front and a possible tropical system passing southeast. I know July 4th is an important day to watch for outdoor festivities and fireworks.  I'll keep you posted.

Changes Heading Into the Weekend

Saturday's Temps (NAM)

HAPPY FRIDAY! After flirting with 90 for some towns yesterday, today's temps will be 5-10 degrees cooler with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s.  It will also turn less humid. 

Grab the sunglasses on your way out the door with partly to mostly sunny skies. There is a chance for an isolated shower west of the Hudson River. But most areas will stay dry.  

The weekend looks fantastic with plenty of sunshine and temps in the low to mid 80s with a nice comfy air mass (low humidity). Another winner!

Canadian High Pressure Keeps The Weekend Dry!

Warm & Sticky

4 KM RPM for this afternoon showing hit or miss showers

A leftover shower EARLY this morning (before 6 AM), then turning partly cloudy, humid and warm. High: 84-88. Hit or miss showers and storms in the afternoon. Not every town will see one!

Not as warm tomorrow, less humid too! Partly cloudy, chance for an afternoon shower west of NYC (northern NJ, the Hudson Valley). 77-82

Another Winner

Looking at the latest data today...the front for the middle of the week is moving slower than expected, practically crawling! High pressure will fight to maintain stability as it approaches. That means better weather the next couple of days with most of the showers holding off until Wednesday night and Thursday.

Rain Thursday morning

Today (Tuesday): Partly to mostly sunny, a but more humid. High: 82.
Tonight: Increasing clouds, patchy fog.  Low: 64-69.
Tomorrow (Wednesday): Mostly cloudy, humid, chance for a late day shower or storm (mainly west of NYC). High: 83.
Thursday: Scattered showers and storms, mainly in the morning. High: 84.

Great Start To The Week

I'm loving this stretch of weather! Today will be sunny with low humidity and high temps in the upper 70s to low 80s.  We'll see similar temps tomorrow with partly to mostly cloudy skies and increasing humidity.  By Wednesday it's very humid with lots of clouds and the chance for scattered showers and storms during the day. The heaviest rain will be Wednesday night into Thursday morning as a front crosses the area.

I had a chance to go to the Central Park Boathouse on Sunday for brunch. It was so beautiful!  The banana french toast is out of this world!

Transitional Day

The worst of the heat and humidity is already over! See? That wasn't SO bad. 

Instead of high temps ranging from 85 to 95 degrees, today most areas will hover around 80. Showers and occasional thunder are likely through around midday. Then some clearing is possible from north to south as Canadian high pressure builds in. That will bring a comfortable, less humid air mass for Friday into the weekend with high temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s. There is a slight chance for a shower south of the city on Saturday. But most places will stay. Overall, a nice weekend (unless you were hoping for a hot and humid beach day).

First 90 Degree Day Yesterday, Sort Of

JFK managed to hit 91 while the 90 degree mark remains elusive for Central Park at 89...close but no cigar. Islip set a daily record high temp of 89 degrees.

Grand Finale!

Today is the grand finale of this damp and dreary week! Humid, mid to upper 70s. One round of showers/storms in the morning, another in the late afternoon/ night. The biggest concern with storms today is heavy rain and localized flooding. Clearing just in time for your weekend. Near 80 Saturday, low 80s Sunday, low humidity and lots of sun.

Broken Record

Our broken record weather pattern continues today. Drizzle and fog to start. Humid with scattered showers the rest of the day. High: Low 70s. Friday is the grand finale with soupy air and the potential for strong to severe storms. Then things turn around just in time for Dad's weekend.Less humid, dry, lots of sunshine! 80s. Have a great Thursday! I'm filling in for Linda Church all morning on PIX11.

NYC Breaks The World Record For Trampolines!

Check out my story here

This was my first of three segments yesterday morning.

The weather turned a lot of people away and breaking the record was looking dicey for a while. The participants begged me to join to get their numbers up!  They did it.  What a fun day and now I'm going down in the Guinness Book of World Records.
