TONIGHT: Cloudy with periods of rain, especially north and west, tapering to just a few showers late. Low: 43
MONDAY: Early lingering shower well south and east; otherwise, clouds giving way to some sun, still cool. High: 63
MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Low: 42
Hope all the moms out there had a terrific Mother’s Day, despite some of the wet weather. Periods of rain, steadiest and heaviest north and west, will continue into the nighttime hours before tapering back to just a few showers late. There may be a lingering shower or two well south and east early Monday morning before we string together a series of dry days right through Thursday. All the while, temperatures will continue to run several degrees below normal for early to mid-May. For reference, average highs for early May should be around or just above 70 degrees, but through Wednesday at least, we can expect highs to only be in the low and mid 60s. A weak system looks to track through by Friday bringing a return to some showers, but overall, it appears the weather will stay fairly quiet into next weekend with some warmer, more seasonable 70s returning for highs by next weekend as well!
DETAILED FORECAST
TONIGHT
An area of low pressure will track by to our south near the Mason Dixon line overnight dragging a cold front with it. Periods of rain will continue into the overnight, however, it appears those near and north of Interstate 78 will see the steadier rains while a sharp cutoff to the rain will occur to the south with perhaps those closer to Philly and south Jersey hardly seeing anything. Either side of the I-78 corridor can expect a tenth to a quarter of an inch of total rainfall, while those near and north of I-80 as well as near and west of I-81 can expect at least a half inch. Meanwhile, once you get down towards Philly and south Jersey, a tenth of an inch or less of total rainfall is expected. By the time we get into the pre-dawn hours of Monday, much of the rain will have moved away to our north and east with just a couple stray showers remaining. Overnight lows should hold rather steady compared to what our Sunday evening temps were in the low to mid 40s.
MONDAY
By sunrise Monday, low pressure will have moved to a position near Cape Cod, while its trailing cold front will be to our south and east and offshore. A stray shower may linger right around sunrise, but mainly for those near and south and east of Interstate 95. Overall, Monday will be an entirely dry day for many of us with clouds gradually breaking for more sunshine as the day progresses. Afternoon highs should reach the low to mid 60s.
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
Tuesday looks mainly dry, although it will be a bit windy, and an upper level disturbance diving in from the north and west later in the afternoon may spark a stray shower, mainly north and west of the Lehigh Valley. High pressure should move overhead for Wednesday leading to mostly sunny skies and a little bit less of a breeze. Cooler than normal temperatures will persist through this period, with highs remaining in the lower 60s Tuesday and mid 60s on Wednesday.
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
High pressure will remain in control for Thursday making for another dry day along with a decent amount of sunshine. High temperatures should get a little bit warmer climbing back into the upper 60s to near 70 degrees. A weak upper level disturbance looks to track through on Friday bringing more clouds than sun and perhaps a shower or two, although, a good portion of the day still looks to remain dry. Highs will get a tad cooler again on Friday dropping into the mid to upper 60s.
NEXT WEEKEND
At this point, the weather looks pretty good for outdoor plans next weekend as high pressure should be our main weather player. Temperatures will be rebounding back to near normal levels as well. Both Saturday and Sunday should feature a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the low to mid 70s. A weak upper level disturbance may track through later Sunday possibly sparking a stray shower, but at this point we’ll lean towards a mainly dry day for many.
