Saturday Evening Update

7:00PM Saturday Update 

Hi everyone, while Remy is away until July 20th, I will be writing the posts at least until July 4th, and then depending on the internet access at Oxford and my available time, I should be able to post at least sporadically from July 4th until July 20th.

Forecast

Tonight: Rain will become steadier and will be quite heavy during the overnight hours into the morning tomorrow. A general 1-2" of rain can be expected across the region, with higher amounts north and west of the area and lower over Long Island. Lows will be in the mid 50s to low 60s. It will be windy with gusts between 35-40 knots possible.

Sunday: Morning rain should taper off to showers, with partial clearing in the afternoon. Highs will be in the upper 70s to low 80s across the entire region.

Monday: Mostly sunny throughout the day, with highs in the low to mid 70s. Clouds may build in during the evening hours, but the day should remain dry, with the greatest chance of any light shower activity north of the region.

Tuesday: Clouds will build in during the evening, but before then Tuesday is looking great with highs in the upper 70s to around 80 with mostly sunny skies. Then, we look to our next system coming through bringing rain and thunderstorms for Tuesday night into Wednesday. More on that in tomorrow's post.


Discussion

Our storm system that gave us some rain today will deepen overnight and produce some heavy rain in the region, with the heaviest of the rain to the north and west of us. Still, 1-2" are possible here with up to 3" in the heaviest bands. Watch out for some pretty gusty winds tonight, with sustained winds of 10-15 knots and gusts 35-40 knots possible. After the storm system clears out tomorrow, we are looking at some pretty good weather for the latter part of Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday with a chance for some wet weather on each day. Monday appears the best of the next three days. The next system to track will be a shortwave on Tuesday night into Wednesday, although it should not be as organized as today's system was (and will be), meaning less in the way of precipitation. However, we will still have to watch for the possibility of heavy rain in thunderstorms that may be severe in some areas. More on that tomorrow.
