Mid-July Weather Continues

Yesterday's low temperature of 69 degrees was higher than the normal high for the day. A high pressure system that's now centered over Connecticut should make today and tomorrow slightly warmer. Highs will be in the mid-80s, which is typical for July.

A back door cold front, a front that sneaks down from New England, is expected to bring a few showers and cooler weather on Sunday. In this case cooler means a high around 80 degrees. The front should reverse direction late Sunday and may warm back up to the mid-80s again on Monday. This is Columbus Day weekend at the beach weather!

After Monday the crystal ball of meteorology gets murkier than usual. The general trend will be toward more seasonable temperatures and a bit of rain. The specific forecasts from the Weather Service and Weather.com differ a lot. Gothamist is going to ignore both of them and enjoy the warm weekend.

and in case you forget, we (NY) will have a good 6 months of FRIGID FUCKING weather to deal with before it's remotely comfortable again...

so please stop the whining...you'll be begging for 80s when it's 40 in May!

Where is that nice cooler chill that is so refreshing (after such a humid summer) that comes through this time of year!

Fall is my favorite season and every year it's turning into Late Summer.
