You know that dumb old saying "if you don't like the weather in New
York, wait ten minutes it will change" which people use everywhere
except Honolulu, San Diego and Miami as if the weather in their city was
special and unique? Well, this weekend's weather will bring a bit of
truth to the cliche in the Big Apple. Thanks to a warm front that's
passed through town we've got us an unusally sticky, warm fall day today. Look for a high in the mid 80s.

Tomorrow's high will again be in the mid 80s but it will be a dry heat. A cold front will sweep the moisture away late tonight but cooler air won't arrive until Sunday.

The National Weather Service's nerdy forecast discussion
says there's a "large bust potential" for Sunday and Monday. That got
us excited until we realized they meant there's a good chance the
forecast for early next week will be wrong. Sunday is expected to be
cool, with a high only around 70, and either sunny or rainy. Rain is more likely Monday or Tuesday as the moisture from tropical storm Matthew gets sucked north out of the tropics.

That saying is actually true in some places, but NYC isn't one of them.

Where I grew up I woke up one morning in February to a delightful temperature of 65 degrees and a thaw. By the time I got home from school that afternoon it was 20 below. They had to call kids parents to come get them from school because nobody had the ultra-cold-weather gear you need for that kind of temperature. And all the melted snow turned into a four-inch-solid coating of ice that we skated on for the next three days as there was no school. Now THAT is a weather change. The weather here is pussy weather, it's just more annoying because you're out in it more than you would be in the sticks.

Although that whole wind tunnel effect on the avenues is pretty unique. And really annoying when it's very cold.

Sooo...it'll either be sunny or rainy? I love it when meteorologists narrow it down for you!
