Humidity takes a hike, and sunny dry weather in reach

7/12/2013

You can finally breathe a sigh of relief instead of breathing in the damp air. With the cold front passed over us, normal temperatures will drop by 5-7° and more importantly the dew points will also drop the same. 72° vs 66° is a huge difference when it comes to being comfortable outside, and while you can still perceive some of the humidity, it won't be leaving you wishing you were inside instead. As for the showers, just take a look at the current surface map/radar:

The cold front is now to our south, and that area of low pressure on the front itself is part of the culprit for the smaller chance of rain today in the northeast. That high pressure system in the Atlantic that I mentioned yesterday is pushing back a bit, and the low pressure center isn't able to push out farther or fast enough, meaning that the Delmarva area into Washington DC and eastern Virginia will have heavy showers and possible thunderstorms all day with areas seeing 1-1.5" of rain. If you look at the radar loop, the rain is absolutely trying to reach the metro area. The problem is that the winds around the warmer side of the front are pushing them offshore, and more importantly the winds on the cold side of the front pushing towards the low pressure are constantly drawing in the higher pressure behind it, killing much of the convection and thus the rain.

There's still a slight chance of a shower passing through, but the majority won't reach us until the later afternoon, into the evening around CT and possibly missing areas above central and western MA completely.

Finally that sunny and dry weather in reach? It'll be turning sunny tomorrow, with sunny dry milder and still less humid weather slated to hit us Sunday into mid next week. I'm sure we're all looking forward to that.
