Mother's Day showers New Jersey to NYC & Long Island, more gloomy on the way next week
Yesterday's weather system as moved away to the east as satellite and radar loops show. No doubt that today, Saturday will be the better of the two weekend days because as satellite loops also show we have clouds moving across the Great Lakes in the northwest flow aloft so as one system departs, another arrives. Much of the dayside today should be ok. A south to southwest wind is better than an east wind so look for temperatures to top in the 60s today. There is enough space be3tween the two system to leave us in mostly sunny skies today, though some clouds could start coming in late in the day. Radars at least during the dayside should be quiet.
