Light rain showers continue to move north and east this morning
in association with frontal system approaching the area from
the west.
Two areas of low pressure will be the focus of
precipitation over the region. One weak, broad low to our
northwest, near the Eastern Great Lakes region, and another stronger low developing well east of the Delmarva peninsula that is forecast to pass well south and east of the area. Much of the
tri-state will be caught in between these two lows, leading to
relatively heavier rainfall for portions of the Lower Hudson
Valley (closer to the low near the Great Lakes) southern
and eastern portions of the area, such as Northeast New Jersey,
New York City and Long Island (closer to the low offshore).
Connecticut should see lower amounts as they will be farther
away from both lows.
In general, rainfall amounts have been
lowered to between a 0.25"-0.50". However, amounts could end up
even lower than this, but not confident on lowering them that
drastically given uncertainty in placement of lows.
Unseasonably cool temperatures today as clouds and rain keep temperatures in the upper 50s to around 60 for highs, some 10 to
15 degrees below normal.
If we took the last 10 Memorial Day high temps plus today's forecast 75F and divided it by 11, the average high for Memorial Day at ORD would be 81 degrees
These last few days of May and start of June are not very summer-like for much of eastern CONUS
