Warmer Weather Ahead Dry Through Friday Thunderstorms Friday Night Saturday

It wasn’t the best of weekends but it wasn’t a complete washout either. Just when I had given up on sunshine breaking out this afternoon the skies broke wide open as the low clouds dissipated. We finished Memorial Day with sunshine and skies are either clear or partially clear this evening. The radars are quiet. Skies…

Fighting Low Clouds On Memorial Day Warmer Weather Begins Tuesday

Fighting Low Clouds On Memorial Day Warmer Weather Begins Tuesday

Today should have turned out to be the better day of the entire holiday weekend. Instead it seems yesterday will take the prize for best day for most (but not all) as we woke up this morning to lots of low clouds and even a few showers that came in from off the ocean and moved over parts of Long Island and Southern New England.…

Clouds Hanging On But Some Improvement Possible Monday Looks Better

At least there is no rain in the forecast for today unlike yesterday where clusters of downpours and thunderstorms hit some areas hard; other areas not so much. Today rain is not the issue but rather a flow off the ocean around weak low pressure east of New Jersey and high pressure near Nova Scotia. Dry air from New England is…

Long Island & Spring Don’t Mix!

Long Island Surrounded By Downpours Today Onshore Flow Sunday

Of the three summer holidays it is the Memorial Day holiday weekend that usually creates the most issues especially for Long Island.

Raw Cloudy Day Ahead Some Sun Returns Tuesday Showers Thunderstorms Thursday

Our recent round of what I describe as doom and gloom Seattle like weather continues today though far less rain fell yesterday and last night for most areas. Our storm system took on an east northeast west southwest tilt keeping most of the rain well inland and north and leaving far less as you adventured closer to the…
