Mid-week rain ushers in cooler weather, but will leave dry skies for the weekend – NBC New York
After a stretch of warm, sunny weather, get ready for clouds, cooler temperatures, and showers are on the way to the tri-state area this week.
An area of low pressure off the Carolina coast will slowly migrate north, clipping the Northeast with wet weather beginning Tuesday evening and continuing through Wednesday.
The rain won’t be heavy, nor will it be continuous. Clouds, however, will move in Tuesday afternoon and stick around until Thursday.
The combination of clouds, scattered rain and an onshore wind will keep temperatures cool for September. Highs will struggle to make 70 degrees on Wednesday.
Rain totals will stay below an inch in most areas, but packing an umbrella for the day would be a good idea.
The low pressure system will move away Thursday morning, leaving dry skies in its wake for the remainder of the work week and the coming weekend. Temperatures will rebound nicely, too, on Thursday and especially Friday, when we’ll warm into the mid-80s in the afternoon.
The warmth will be short-lived, though. A dry cold front will take our temperatures down to the low 70s for the weekend. Cooler, yes, but still pleasant.
