Dave Dombek, a senior meteorologist with AccuWeather, attributes the comfortable conditions in the Northeast to an expansive area of high pressure from Canada. This air mass is expected to linger along the East Coast for several days before shifting offshore, which will gradually lead to warmer temperatures. The result is a stretch of unusually cool and comfortable weather for New York City, where average high temperatures should be around 83 degrees but will be significantly lower.
The anticipated high temperature for Central Park on Wednesday is only 71 degrees, which, if confirmed, marks a striking 12 degrees below the average for this date. Dombek remarked on the atypical nature of the current weather patterns, suggesting that this cool spell is quite unusual for the time of year, given that average temperatures are beginning to decline as summer wanes.
Regarding the upcoming weekend, Dombek forecasts a gradual warming trend with temperatures reaching 75 degrees on Thursday, 80 degrees on Friday, and returning to an average high of 83 degrees on Saturday. However, even as temperatures normalize, he expects humidity levels to remain low, contributing to a generally comfortable atmosphere, leading Dombek to suggest that air-conditioning may not be necessary.
