Detailed Discussion

A cold front currently over the western Great Lakes will move through the region today. Strong south westerly flow will advect moisture from the Gulf of Mexico supporting widespread showers. On Sunday afternoon around 2pm a layer of unstable air has the potential to move into eastern New York supporting the formation of isolated thunderstorms. As this air moves eastward there is a chance for thunderstorms over higher elevations such as the White Mountains.

The crest of the moisture will move through the area by Sunday evening, reducing showers throughout the region. On Monday morning scattered showers continue as the cold front moves eastward. A high pressure system begins to settle into the area Monday night into Tuesday morning. Partly cloudy skies and warm temperatures move in with highs near 70 across the region. The next chance for showers will be Wednesday as an Alberta clipper heads our way.
