Aye, the easterly wind... Weak low pressure southeast of the city means we're in for several days of dingy gray weather. The ocean winds will produce a thick blanket of stratus clouds which will keep the temperature nearly steady in the upper 40s to lower 50s through tomorrow. To add to the rawness there may be periods of drizzle or light rain between this afternoon and Tuesday morning.

Today's rain is courtesy of a warm front moving up the east coast. A few episodes of light rain are possible before the front passes through town around the time the Yankees take the field. The clouds ahead of the slow-moving front will keep today's high in the upper 60s. If that's not warm enough for you hop on the next NJ Transit train to Trenton, where it will be in the upper 70s.

If we are lucky Mother Nature will give us a warm weather quickie this afternoon. A warm front has brought fog and drizzle to town this morning. A heavier shower or two may occur before early afternoon. A cold front is quickly catching up to the warm front and will sweep away any moisture once it arrives early this evening. A narrow tongue of warm air may snake its way up between the two fronts and give northeastern New Jersey and the western portions of the city a quick licking. If that happens the temperature will briefly zip into the lower 60s. If that doesn't happen the highs will be in the mid 50s.

Another gloomy day today. There's a slight chance of showers but that chance will diminish as the coastal low that has brought all the clouds and drizzle finally begins to move out of the picture. The lingering tropical air will keep the temperature in the mid 60s for much of the day and it won't cool off much tonight.

We've got an odd mix of tropical and winter weather visiting the city this week. The tropical is the warm and humid air mass that is upon us. Highs will be in the low to mid 60s today and tomorrow and possibly into the upper 60s on Friday. More tropical feeling will be morning lows in the mid 50s, which is more like the normal high for early November.

Today marks the sixth straight cool day and it looks like it will take until Monday for seasonable temperatures to return. A minor atmospheric skirmish will keep temperatures down through the weekend. In one corner a warm front is approaching from the south. In another corner a high pressure system is slinking down from eastern Canada. It appears that the high will cause the warm front to stall before it passes through the city, leaving us on the cool, wet side of things.
