S-M-R-T

Mother Nature has certainly been doing everything she can to try and stump me these last few days.  There's just one thing I want to say to her:  Good job!  It's about time somebody threw me off for once.  I'm normally so perfect with my forecasts that it's refreshing to know that the environment can still throw me a curve ball when it wants to.  However, I'm afraid today I return to my normal dominance.

The cold front I was discussing yesterday is moving through even as we speak, although you probably won't notice it.  The CF is also bringing some cooler, drier air down with it, which should result in a rather pleasant day or two for us.  There is a slight chance of some afternoon showers but I'm assuming they will be small, short-lived, random ones at best.  Tonight, high pressure builds in from the SW which should keep things generally dry and clear through Wednesday.  Thursday that high pushes warm air into the region and we start to feel those lovely hot/humid conditions that make NYC's summers are so famous.  Highs Thursday could reach 90.  Yum.

Today:  Sunny with a few clouds and a slight chance of an afternoon shower/t-storm.  High 81.  Winds NW @ 12-15 mph.
Tonight:  Clearing.  Evening temps in the mid 70s with a low of 64.  Winds NW @ 6-8 mph.
Tomorrow:  Sunny with a few clouds.  High 85.  Winds SW @ 8-10 mph.
Thursday:  Warm and humid.  High 89.
