One of the best sunsets we've ever seen by g0thamg1rl on Flickr Kind of a half-assed weather day today. There's enough moisture and an upper-level disturbance to produce a thick layer of clouds, but not enough of a disturbance to wring some of that moisture out of the atmosphere. So, we're looking at overcast skies that will keep the temperature down in the mid 70s this afternoon. There may be a sprinkle or two......

The first line of the Weather Service's forecast discussion contains all you need to know about the forecast "High pressure will remain over the region through Sunday." There is no chance of rain and barely the chance for a cloud to appear for the next several days. The high will be to the west of the city today and tomorrow, allowing lots of cool dry air to filter into town. The high today will only......

There may be a stray shower or two this morning but most of the rain has moved eastward. The rest of the day will remain cool and cloudy as the cold front that passed brought last night's rain goes stationary over southern New Jersey. The front isn't going to do much of anything until late Thursday. Showers are possible again tonight and tomorrow morning. Highs today and tomorrow will be in the lower 70s at......

Today promises to be much calmer than yesterday. Tuesday saw a brief taste of summer before an brief and intense squall line reminded us that it was still spring. This afternoon's sunny high will be a cool 68ish as a high pressure system arrives from the Midwest. After a cool night tonight -lows should be in the lower 50s in town and may dip into the 30s in interior regions of the tri-state area. Tomorrow......

The month of May is remaining stubbornly cool. While the first four months of the year were all warmer than average, this month is running nearly two degrees below normal. This week will keep the month on its cool streak. The normal high for today is 72. The mix of wind, clouds, sun and possibly a shower this afternoon will keep the maximum for today to the mid-60s at best. That's nowhere near the record......

Sometimes the atmosphere gets stuck in a rut. The typical size and speed of high and low pressure systems means they should pass through the northeastern U.S. every few days. The pattern would rarely be noticed should it rain every five days as that would mean rain today, next Wednesday and the Monday after that. But when the repeat button is set for every seven days and the rainy days turn out to be Friday......

The Bronx houseboat, measuring in at only 250-square-feet, really should have cleaned up ship and entered this contest. Apartment Therapy's Smallest, Coolest Apartment Contest is underway for a fourth year, and below are some of the New York City entries, all under 850-square-feet. Design solutions for cramped living quarters never cease to amaze, and apparently a key factor to maximizing your minimal space is to add a sheepskin throw -- as just about every entrant......

Morning satellite image from the National Weather Service Today marks the sixth straight cool day and it looks like it will take until Monday for seasonable temperatures to return. A minor atmospheric skirmish will keep temperatures down through the weekend. In one corner a warm front is approaching from the south. In another corner a high pressure system is slinking down from eastern Canada. It appears that the high will cause the warm front......

It's Double Weather Awareness Week! Not only is this Severe Weather Awareness Week it is also National Air Quality Week. New York doesn't get thunderstorms and tornadoes with the frequency and ferocity seen in the Southeast and Midwest, but last summer's tornado in Brooklyn is a reminder that tornadoes can and do happen here. No severe weather or air quality problems to worry about today. How about sunny and 60 degrees instead? Despite ending on......

Narcissus by Pabo76 on Flickr Because of the old "April showers bring May flowers" line, April has a reputation for being a rainy month. That may be true where that rhyme originated, but April is only the fifth rainiest month in New York. This April has seen less than half its normal rainfall and no precipitation in the last two weeks. That dry spell is about to end, possibly as soon as late tonight.......

Today is one of those strange weather days when it is actually much warmer in upstate New York than in the city. Highs in Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse will approach 60 today, while NYC will be lucky to reach 50 degrees. The reason for this reversal is a high pressure system over the Canadian Maritimes. Air circulates clockwise and outward around high pressure systems which means the city will experience east winds off the ocean......

There is a frontal boundary just south of the city this morning and a disturbance has been kicking off showers as it moves eastward along the front. We should see light rain over the next couple of hours. There's a tiny chance of a thundershower until mid-afternoon. Today's high temperature forecast is a total coin flip. If the warm front stays south of the city the high will remain in the mid-40s. If that front......

This week starts off with at least a couple of dry days before more March rains arrive. A big high pressure system covers the eastern half of the country this morning. Sinking air and a lack of humidity should keep the city dry today and tomorrow. The Weather Service mentions a slight chance of sprinkles for this afternoon and evening but their heart isn't in it. The high temperature today and tomorrow should flirt with......

The forecast for snow and rain yesterday was a total bust. We saw snow, but we had to go to the Upper Delaware Valley to see it. The next chance, and it is a slim chance, for snow is tomorrow afternoon. Today will remain sunny, but another arctic front should cross the region around noon Thursday. The front will be enough of a disturbance that a few light snow showers might occur. As arctic fronts......
