Chilly Fall Coming to the Northeast


“Several cities across the region encountered a top-five warmest meteorological summer (June through August) on record. The pattern of well-above-average temperatures continued into September, but that is all about to change this weekend. The warmth will come to an abrupt halt as a cold front pushes through the Northeast.”
Areas around New York are expected to see mainly around the 60’s and 70’s on Saturday, with cold airs continuing to more southward. As Sunday hits in the morning it the low will be 40 and as it moves through the day the high will be around 70.
“A ridge of high pressure (bulge in the jet stream) that was responsible for the well-above-average temperatures of late has weakened and moved eastward.
Meanwhile, a trough of low pressure (dip in the jet stream) continues to sink southward from Canada replacing the departing ridge.
This allows much cooler air from Canada to move southward over the northeastern U.S. through the weekend.”
