Oct 8, 2012 Brief Update

Notice: Due to a busy schedule, October 8 through 10 will only feature brief updates. Full length discussions will be resumed on October 11th.

------------------------------------------------------

Short Range: Scattered showers will continue through the overnight hours as temperatures drop into the 40s for most locations, before rising into the upper 50s to low 60s on Tuesday for highs. A cold front will move into the region on Wednesday with highs slightly warmer, mostly in the low 60s with the immediate NYC area perhaps getting near 65 degrees, with isolated evening showers north of NYC. Breezy conditions are expected for the eastern half of the area overnight as a cold front comes through.

Longer Range: Thursday and Friday will both be partly cloudy with highs generally in the upper 50s to mid 60s across the area and overnight lows in the upper 30s to mid 40s away from NYC. Friday night will be the coldest, with widespread lows in the 30s for interior parts of the area, expected to bottom out near the low 30s for parts of Sussex and Orange counties. Temperatures will quickly warm up by Sunday into next week, frequently reaching the 60s and low 70s, as a low pressure tracks well to the north of the region, keeping the area mostly dry on Sunday and Monday but with windy conditions expected.
