After a chilly past couple of days across the Northeast, a warmer and more humid air mass is set to usher in the month of May. Temperatures over the region have been running between 5F and 10F degrees below average, and in some cases into western New York, temperatures have been as much as 20F below the normal with Snow during the early part of last week. That is all about to change as temperatures could be hoovering near record high territories in some cases this up coming week. It will feel more like summer than spring for the entire region with temperatures into the 80's during the latter part of the week. A strong high pressure system over the region that has been responsible for the brilliant sunshine and the spectacular weather this weekend will be moving out towards the east of the region. This will produce a flow out of the south ushering in warmer and more muggy conditions. Temperatures will moderate to the middle 60's Monday and Tuesday with upper 70's and 80's for the rest of the week. Along with the warmth will come the humidity, enough so that we could experience instability with your typical garden variety air mass thunder storms during the afternoon hours. There after, indicators are pointing towards more seasonal temperatures and rain for the week of May 6.
