Conditions will dry out and temperatures will rebound through the middle of the week, but that trend won't last for long, with another cool and wet weekend ahead.

00:00 Well, after a chilly and wet weekend, a chilly and wet start to the week, there is improvement
00:05 coming to the Northeast.
00:07 We have to wait one more day.
00:09 When will it get here?
00:10 Tuesday, where I think the sun's going to be appearing.
00:13 Temperatures are going to get back to where they should be, and we're going to have bright
00:16 sunshine and there will be no rain.
00:19 However, here we go, another weekend coming, and we're going to have weekend woes across
00:24 the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, whether it's Philadelphia, New York, Pittsburgh, Washington,
00:28 D.C., Baltimore.
00:29 Now, not all of these cities are going to get a soaking rain, but I think everybody
00:32 turns cloudy, and at least part of the weekend, we are going to be looking at some rain.
00:37 Here's the pattern that's going to set up this weekend.
00:39 Look at this big dip in the jet stream coming southbound, and then you know we're going
00:42 to see this storm forming off the North Carolina coast.
00:45 Now, does this storm hug the coast, go out to sea, or go in between?
00:49 I think it's going to be the later, or the latter of what I said.
00:53 It's going to take a track in between, where there's going to be impacts, especially across
00:57 New England.
00:58 Let me show you where I'm coming from here.
01:00 Let's take you out into the Pacific here, and you can see a couple of storms.
01:04 This is our storm coming into the Northwest.
01:06 This was a powerful typhoon that we were talking about last week, but right now, it's lost
01:11 all of its tropical characteristics, but there's the energy associated with it.
01:15 Both of these storms is causing a big dip in the jet stream.
01:19 There it is, south of Alaska, and when you have a big dip in the jet stream in Alaska,
01:25 what happens is you're forcing the jet northward into western parts of Canada, and once you
01:32 force that jet stream north, the downstream response of that is the jet stream moving
01:39 south, where?
01:40 Across the Midwest, by the middle part of the week.
01:42 Let me show you the pattern we're under.
01:43 Here's our storm coming into the Northwest today.
01:46 Watch what happens by the middle part of the week.
01:47 So here's your upper level low, or your trough into the Central United States.
01:51 You see what's going on up here, though?
01:53 You have all this additional energy, the yellow, orange, and red.
01:57 What's that going to do?
01:58 That's going to drop into this trough and cause it to dig or move farther south and
02:02 east.
02:03 Watch it move south.
02:04 There it goes, and by the end of the week, there's your trough along the Eastern United
02:08 States.
02:09 You see this energy here?
02:11 This is where your storm's going to form Friday night off the North Carolina coast.
02:14 Now, the question is, again, where's it going?
02:17 I think this is the most likely scenario.
02:20 You'll take that storm Friday night and Saturday off the Mid-Atlantic coast.
02:24 I think much of the Mid-Atlantic is going to be spared a lot of rain and wind with this
02:28 storm.
02:29 There will be some.
02:30 There will be showers, no doubt about it.
02:32 But I think the biggest impact is going to be New England.
02:34 Why?
02:35 Because that storm will then intensify, and then I think it's going to try to hook back
02:39 to the North and West, right across down East Main.
02:42 With that, the biggest impacts are coming into New England this weekend.
02:46 Saturday night into Sunday.
02:47 Now, New York City, I think you're going to get a soaking rain out of this.
02:49 I think the worst conditions are farther north.
02:52 In advance of this storm, I think you're going to start seeing an onshore flow, and you're
02:56 going to get some coastal flooding.
02:57 Then as the storm continues to strengthen, you're going to pick up the winds across all
03:02 of New England.
03:03 This will have a feel of a winter-like storm.
03:07 And with that, not only coastal flooding, but I think there could be some heavy rain
03:10 and inland flooding across New England as well this weekend.
03:15 Batten down the hatches.
03:17 We have another storm coming.
