In addition to being St. Patrick's Day, March 17th is also the first day of the year in which New York's average high reaches 50 degrees. The mercury will fall just short of that mark this afternoon as it rebounds from below freezing this morning. A blustery north wind will make it feel much colder as well.
A monstrously large-looking storm currently centered over the southern Great Plains will be tomorrow's weather maker. The storm's bark will probably be worse than it's bite by the time it affects New York. Clouds will move in overnight tonight and showers may start during the afternoon tomorrow. More steady rain is expected Tuesday night through the day Wednesday. The rain precedes a warm front that should pull Wednesday's high to at least the mid-50s if not the lower-60s.
The Spring equinox arrives early Thursday! The twelve hours of daylight look to be filled with sunshine as a Canadian high pressure system settles in place for a few days. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are shaping up to be carbon copies (does anyone make carbon copies anymore?) of Thursday's weather. Expect a run of mostly sunny skies with highs just under 50 degrees each day.
