Wave after wave of clouds will make their way across the northeast at different times throughout the week. Near the NY metro area today we'll start off with 40% cloud cover steadily increasing to 70% Tuesday morning before it drops back down Tuesday afternoon which is when the climb will repeat itself. Wednesday will be filled with clouds as we have a chance of showers during the day and especially for the night. Thursday will go back and forth and then Friday should be filled with sunshine. Plot the cloud cover % onto a graph and it would make a good roller coaster ride.
While the Atlantic is now fairly quiet (the storm system that had a chance of becoming Lorenzo hit a large area of dry air that destroyed it before it got started), the Pacific has two systems right next to each other: Octave to the north and Priscilla to the south. Priscilla will be absorbing the energy from Octave and getting stronger but will move offshore to the west. Octave should affect the southern US before dissipating.
In the middle of the nation there are areas of snow in the central Rockies, with areas of heavy rain just to the northeast closer to Minnesota. For us though in the Northeast, we'll enjoy
