Springfield, Massachusetts to Vineland, New Jersey
A fairly short trip we have in store for us today, 271 miles of roadway including the fine cities of New York and Philadelphia. However, it won't be sunshine and rainbows for our little trip.
A large cut-off low pressure system is continuing to camp out over the Carolinas and Virginia, and with a large blocking pattern in place, isn't going anywhere soon. Constant southeast flow sitting north of a stationary front off the New England coast. Low clouds, fog, and persistent rain showers will rule the day for pretty much the entire trip through western Connecticut, past New York City, and through the heart of New Jersey. Skies and fog could lighten up some in the early afternoon as we get closer to our destination, but could be countered with bouts of heavier rain and perhaps a few isolated thunderstorms traversing the region. All told, a day better off stuck in a car than trying to watch a kids' soccer game.
