A chilly and sunny morning will give way to clouds and snow this evening. As the clouds move in today's high should creep up to the freezing mark. Snow will likely start late this evening as an Alberta Clipper moves over the eastern Great Lakes. Only 1-2 inches of snow are expected and it wouldn't surprise Gothamist if the southern and eastern reaches of the city received only a dusting. If you're in the mood......

Through yesterday, this month was on pace to be the tenth warmest February recorded in Central Park. Cooler conditions today, and especially tomorrow, will put a kibosh on any top ten dreams the month may have had. This morning's brisk winds are in advance of an approaching Alberta Clipper that will pass through the area this evening. As the clipper gets closer skies will cloud up and there's an outside chance of a few flurries.......

Lots of classic textbook weather action should occur today and tonight. An Alberta Clipper, currently centered over Toledo, is zipping southeastward and will be off the Mid-Atlantic coast by tonight. We won't be much affected by the Clipper itself, as it will travel a fair distance south of the city, but there's a good chance we will get caught up with what happens next. What should happen next is what guys in plaid oxford shirts,......

As the center of the high has moved east our dew point, the temperature to which the air must cool for dew to form, has dropped to 25 degrees. Below freezing that's a......

Today's weather is your reward for putting up with a week of less-than-pleasant conditions. Sunny skies will let temperatures rise to 50 degrees this afternoon for the first time since mid-January. The warm weather respite will be brief, leave work early if you can, as another Alberta Clipper passes through town tomorrow. An Alberta Clipper is a low pressure system that zips eastward soon after forming over Alberta. There's a decent chance that snow will......

Recently, everytime Gothamist says it is going to rain it hasn't rained. So it is with great trepidation that we say it is going to rain tonight. The rain has already made it to Sandy Hook, so maybe we'll get this one right. A classic nor'easter is coming up the coast this week. The rain should start soon and will be heavy overnight. You may hear some thunder. It is going to take a while......

The Weather Service's forecast discussion is in rare form today, and that's a good thing. Usually the discussions are dry, technical dissections of the reasoning behind the forecast. The 4:00 a.m. discussion starts with "RATHER DREARY DAY ON TAP FOR THE TRI-STATE REGION" to describe the warm front to our south that is bringing us the clouds and rain. Not too much rain as "OVER OUR NECK OF THE WOODS...DRIER AIR IN THE MID LEVELS......
