The high temperature June 5th was 86 degrees which was 8 degrees above normal.
Today is shaping up to be a partly to mostly cloudy day due to an advancing cold front. Out ahead of this cold front is showers and thunderstorms and its being accompanied by some pretty strong Severe weather parameters with CAPE values of 2000-3000 and sufficient lift and more then sufficient shear across the region. What all this means is that there is an increased risk for tornados and wind damage across a good part of the eastern side of the east coast.
Two potential inhibitors to severe weather are the convection and moisture that is going thru the Great Lakes region now and spreading into NW PA & NY State. This could cause clouds to be in place which could limit the day time heating.
The 2nd thing is relatively poor lapse rates. With sufficient shear in pplace however…this could be enough to overcome the poor lapse rates. However..its something that will have to be watched along with the convective moisture moving towards the region.
Temperatures today will only be in the 50s to 60s from Northern Ny and points NE into Northern New England. Southern New England and South temperatures will be in the 80s and 90s.
If you are out and about today please keep an eye to the sky cause the potential is there for some nasty weather!
