NAM model showing low pressure
along a front near our area. |
The warmth we have experienced over the past several days has been anomalous for this time of year (mid-november) with highs nearing the 70 degree mark for two consecutive days. However, a frontal boundary approaching the region will set the stage for an unsettled middle of the week, and then a drop in temperatures by Friday. Essentially, a reminder that it is in fact the middle of November. The airmass behind the front is expected to be quite cool (albeit transient), with high temperatures only scraping 50 on Thursday and Friday. That said, we have a frontal boundary near the region on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the potential for showers will exist on both days. Disturbances in the middle of the atmosphere will force the development of weak low pressures along the front, driving areas of precipitation from southwest to northeast from the Mid-Atlantic into New England. The first of these is forecast to occur Tuesday Night into Wednesday, and the second early Thursday...both bringing the potential for steady rain. Showery weather will continue otherwise. By Thursday and Friday, we will see more sun..but as mentioned, a fresh new canadian airmass will be in place--and it will be feeling much more like mid November.
