After many locations across the mid-Atlantic and Northeast ended the first third of May with temperatures 3.5 to 5.5 degrees Fahrenheit lower than normal, conditions soared to summerlike levels across the Eastern Seaboard on Friday.
Several locations, including Philadelphia, recorded their first 80-plus degree day of the year. Philadelphia’s high of 85 on Friday marked the latest into the year the first 80-plus day had been recorded since 1997. Typically, the first 80-plus-degree day of the year occurs for the city in early April.Unfortunately, the same air that sent temperatures soaring also primed the atmosphere for damaging storms to develop over the area.
Severe storms blew through portions of the mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Friday, spurring dozens of damaging wind reports and power outages across several states. Atmospheric conditions were so volatile that a tornado watch was issued across portions of five states. For parts of New Hampshire, the tornado watch was the first issued for the area in nearly five years.
Though not as warm as Friday, pleasant and seasonable conditions are expected to persist in the East through the weekend before soggy and cooler conditions settle in place.It will turn cooler through the weekend and then a slow-moving storm will move from the Midwest this weekend to the mid-Atlantic coast next week,”
“Low pressure will sit and spin near the coast through Friday and conditions will be very cool, especially near the coast,” Samuhel said.
Despite chilly and damp conditions remaining in place through the end of the week, hope is on the horizon for warm-weather fans.
“It will turn warmer during the start of the Memorial Day weekend as drier conditions return
