Currently, a sharp contrast in temperatures and conditions exists with readings in the northern Mid-Atlantic region running much above normal and those from north of central New York and central New England were running below normal.

At 2pm, the following conditions were available:

<b>North of the warm front:</b>
Albany: 40 Cloudy
Montreal: 28 Light Sleet
Portland, ME: 38 Light Rain
Sherbrooke: 27 Heavy Snow

<b>South of the warm front:</b>
Baltimore: 76 Mostly Sunny
Millville, NJ: 77 Sunny
Philadelphia: 70 Mostly Sunny
Washington, DC: 78 Sunny

For the remainder of the day, this front will continue to push slowly northward. However, given easterly and northeasterly winds along and to the north of this front, look for temperatures to hold steady or slowly fall during the afternoon and evening hours.

Overnight, though, readings could actually begin to rise toward morning, especially from central New England southward. There, a warm day lies ahead for tomorrow with readings in the 60s and higher.

In the medium-range, the ECMWF remains consistent that a sharply colder air mass will move into the Northeast for the weekend. The ECMWF may be overdone to some extent. Nevertheless, a brief but impressive chill comparable to that of October 22-24 relative to normal appears quite likely; the chill should be somewhat less in the Mid-Atlantic region given the weak but not dead ridge. This means that temperatures could run 8 to 13 degrees below normal for the weekend.

Taking this into consideration, I believe one can expect the coldest temperatures to date in the major cities.

Best estimates for lowest readings during the weekend:

Boston: 30
NYC: 32
Philadelphia: 31

Finally, all indications continue to point to the NAO turning toward negative by mid-month with amplification in the 11/13-18 period followed by a transition to a new pattern. That transitional period should see a more zonal jetstream configuration

Don
Its been a roller coaster here today earlier the high was 73 then less then an hour later it was 63 with the movement of the backdoor cold front. But it is showing signs of moving back north as a warm front and i am expecting it to bounce back to near 70 by 5pm. ok now my Therm. is reading at 62 with ENE winds at 15Mph with gusts to 20Mph its holding tough south west of me that front. But if it moves north its gonna change alot of temps here. But finally it will push through as a nice cold front with at least 1.5 inches of rain maybe up to near 2 inches i wouldnt be surprised to hear a rumble or 2 of thunder. Shoot how it has been going this Fall i wouldnt be surprised to see a line of Severe Weather again as how it has been.

Colin this backdoor cold front was underestimated actually alot of clouds are moving in here as well. I am from Villanova Ardmore areas and clouds have gotten a bit thicker and lower which si shocking me and temps continue to drop. I was thinking by now the temps would of been jumping back up with it moving north as a warm front which it hasnt to my surprise. As they say Weather is not an exact sceince. But still its holding really tough. Glad to see it holdign tough and still droppign the temps.

That is crazy! :eek: I originally grew up in Louisville, and can't believe how warm it is there! Where I am it is 73 with a dewpoint of 66. Although we are mostly cloudy so luckily we are not getting that hot. Can't wait for the weekend when it finally cools down!!

It's still summer, judging by the temps the past 4 days being above 70 degrees! :eek:

Don - glad to hear there will be a cooldown later this week and this weekend. I would much rather see November temps in the 40's or 50's vs. the 70's.

Well let's see.......last night, it was cloudy and cold around 40-45 or so. 10am it was sunny and in the low 70's, currently it is cloudy and 57°F and the temp will be dropping the rest of the day and into the night eventually stopping around 35°, and highs are expected to only hit mid 40's tomorrow!! This has been my weather pattern for about a month now, anyone else want to talk about a roller coaster ride???? :lol:
