Good morning everyone! Now that most of our weather events are behind us, we can enjoy a relatively dry and calm period across a large portion of the country. The Northeast, Southeast, and South are still experiencing cold temperatures, but we can expect a gradual improvement in the coming days.
In the Northeast, expect dry conditions to persist until at least Tuesday. However, there is some good news as we gradually move away from the frigid weather and temperatures start to return to normal or near-normal levels. Keep an eye out for potential rain or snowfall, which is likely to occur between late Tuesday and early Thursday. Additionally, brace yourself for another round of very cold air during this time.
Next week, the main focus of this forecast will shift towards a return to more typical weather conditions along the Gulf Coast. Following the unprecedented snowfalls in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida, we can expect a transition to milder conditions with the possibility of heavy rain and thunderstorms.
The weather pattern in the Southeast is expected to remain similar to earlier this week, as a new cold front is not able to push through the region. While the Northeast experienced a fresh burst of cold air midweek, the South will not be as frigid. However, there will still be moisture coming up from the Gulf of Mexico due to high pressure, though it won’t be accompanied by the extreme cold seen earlier this week.
There is still a chance of snowfall in central Texas or parts of the Midwest, depending on the final position of this system. However, the Gulf Coast of Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi can expect rainy and thundery weather starting late Thursday. This system will move slowly, eventually bringing milder conditions and rain to Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.
We will also keep a close eye on any potential severe weather that may arise. Here is the forecast for the NYC Metro area –
Expect a combination of sun and clouds throughout the day, with temperatures reaching the upper 20s at most. During the night, the temperatures will drop to the range of 15-20 degrees. Tomorrow, we can anticipate similar weather conditions, with highs ranging from the upper 20s to the low 30s.
Saturday will remain chilly, but there is a possibility of reaching near 40 degree temperatures on Sunday.
The weather forecast for Monday and Tuesday shows sunny skies with temperatures in the upper 30’s to near 40. However, we can expect increasing clouds late on Tuesday as we keep an eye on the possibility of a front moving in on Wednesday.
