New York Weather News - Jeff's Weather Blog

This is May! The weather is supposed to give us a taste of summer and give us weekends to look forward to. The cold and rain is just unacceptable. I was in Boston today and the temperature was 47 degrees at noon. It felt more like a cold March day then late May. So what exactly is going on?? The culprit of this gloomy outlook is a sharpening dip in the jet stream that will take its sweet time rotating through the Northeast the next 3 days. The plunging jet will induce a low to form along a stationary front off the East Coast. Increasingly deep moisture will be wrapped into this front. We will probably start seeing rain along the coastal areas into Friday and could see up to an 1". New England should get the brunt of the heavy rain Friday night into Saturday. Hopefully there will be peaks of sun this weekend but no promises! Best bet, Bring an umbrella.
