Month-By-Month Spring/Summer Forecast Released For NY

The Weather Channel has released its newest long-range forecast for the next three months, saying the start of spring for New York could continue to be chillier than normal. But by June, expect things to warm up as normal.

New York and the rest of the East Coast can expect temperatures to be cooler or close to average through May. With June, though, comes warmth. Temperatures will be normal and even above average at that time, according to the Weather Channel's predictions.

The three-month outlook forecast was released over the weekend. In it, the Weather Channel predicts early summer will be like last year, when temperatures were "fairly tame," running near or below average.

Here's a look at the Weather Channel's long-term forecast, month-by-month:

May: The East Coast can expect near-average or colder temperatures in May. The Southwest will likely experience another month of hotter-than-average temperatures.

June: Much of the East Coast will see temperatures that are near or slightly above average.

July: While there is the potential for "big-time" heat in much of the West in July, the Northeast will see temperatures that average or slightly above.

As far as the short-term forecast goes, we're in for another beautiful day Monday. It will be sunny with highs ranging from the upper 50s on Long Island to the upper 60s in the mid-Hudson Valley.

The National Weather Service said high pressure centered over the region will drift offshore Monday. This will produce one last day of sunny weather. Temperatures will peak today right around the average for this time of year. As the high continues to drift further away over the Atlantic, low pressure over the southeastern United States will draw closer to the area on Tuesday. This will produce increasing clouds tonight, and a mostly cloudy day on Tuesday. The rain however looks to hold off until Tuesday evening, but thunderstorms are possible Wednesday.
