Sunny Saturday, Soggy Sunday
It's the low pressure system that can't! If you look on the radar you'll see a storm trying to move up the coast. However, high pressure centered over Hudson Bay has taken offense to this incursion and is saying "No way, Mr. Storm, you are not going to rain on the Big Apple." Mr. Storm will offer a weak protest in the form of a few clouds, but will otherwise move out to sea in shame. Look for a slightly warmer than normal day, the ninth in a row, with a high in the lower 40s. More of the same, but with fewer clouds, is expected tomorrow.
The weather starts to get interesting again toward the end of the weekend as the current circulation pattern breaks down. That's good news for California, which will see an end to the onslaught of powerful storms. Initally for New York the circulation shift means a mild Sunday and Monday with the potential for heavy rain Sunday night.
Cooler weather is likely to return next week in two stages. The first stage will be a return to near normal temperatures once the rain departs late Monday. The second stage looks to be a cold blast behind an Arctic front toward the end of next week. Don't put away your union suits just yet!
