WEATHER BLOG: Cold Temps Continue

A cold front has swept through the area overnight which will now slow and stall off the East Coast. A weak, open wave of low pressure will develop along the cold front and draw the rain over southeastern Virginia northward, spreading rain across the Delmarva Peninsula into southeastern New Jersey, across Long Island and into eastern New England today.

We will be on the very western fringes of this rainfall and clouds will limit sunshine throughout the day. The distance between areas of rain and no rain will be less then 100 miles and we'll have to keep an eye out for this rainfall to work its way farther west this afternoon, but at this point we think this rain will stay east of the city. The coastal low will move off to the northeast tonight and the sky will clear out and it will turn colder. Our cool but dry weather will then continue tomorrow and Tuesday with high pressure dominating the region.

It will turn increasingly milder Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as a southerly wind develops and ushers in some warmer air. However, we'll also see an increase in cloudiness during this time as the center of high pressure shifts off to our east over the Atlantic and a storm system approaches us from the west. This storm system will bring us some showers Saturday and Saturday night followed by cooler weather next Sunday and Monday.
