Aye, the easterly wind... Weak low pressure southeast of the city means we're in for several days of dingy gray weather. The ocean winds will produce a thick blanket of stratus clouds which will keep the temperature nearly steady in the upper 40s to lower 50s through tomorrow. To add to the rawness there may be periods of drizzle or light rain between this afternoon and Tuesday morning.

This is about the dullest weather situation the city has had in months. There's still a weak low pressure system off the coast of North Carolina. It's trying to move northward but is being held in check by a high pressure system over Nova Scotia. Until that stalemate gets resolved the city is going to see cool and cloudy conditions with a slight chance of rain. There will be a fairly strong breeze off the ocean tomorrow and Friday, limiting highs both days to the mid 60s.

              

Hey everyone, we forgot that the Apocalypse was scheduled for today. Strollers are being frantically pushed to safety in Park Slope, the sky appears divided from the UWS, and things aren't looking so good for the commute home. Sadly, the clouds popping up are more threatening than the gorgeous mammatus clouds we saw earlier this summer. Send us your photos before it all goes down!

Following on the heels of Monday's first appearance of 90 degrees this summer, yesterday's high and low temperatures were both above normal. That's only the second time that both the max and min have been above normal on the same day since early June. How's that for obscure weather trivia!

While the death of Michael Jackson has captured the attention of fans around the world, New Yorkers have found their curiosities wandering upward this weekend to take in the dazzling skies that have felt like a culmination of an unusual month of weather. So it almost seems inevitable that one outlet found a way to capitalize on combining the two stories—My Fox NY thinks that they might see The Gloved One in one of those magical mammatus cloud formations from Friday night.

                     

While today's sky has been blue with fluffy (cumulus?) clouds, we're still thinking about last night's dazzling post-storm mammatus clouds. Here are some more of photographs of the clouds. Thank you to everyone who shared their pictures—we apologize that we couldn't put them all up (we did get a lot!).

          

Whoa! Was Ghostbusters 3 filming tonight? Because those were some crazy clouds just after sunset. They appear to be a mammatus formation-- that's Latin for "bumpy clouds."

If we had a museum of weather we would shoot and stuff today as a perfect example of March weather. A low developing southeast of Long Island is bringing the dreary clouds and occasional shower this Monday. Winds will shift around to the north as the day progresses, which will bring cooler, drier air this evening. Cloudy skies will gradually thin tonight, leading to a bit of sunshine tomorrow morning.

Today is Heat Awareness Day. Luckily there is no excessive heat in the Big Apple to be aware of today. Morning sun should give way to afternoon clouds and the high will be 75 at best. There's a non-negligible chance of a shower or thunderstorm this afternoon and evening.

Though it may rain this afternoon today promises to be less gloomy than yesterday. Less than half an inch of rain was measured at Belvedere Castle, though it sure seemed like more fell. Today there should be plenty of sun in the morning. Clouds will begin to build around noon and there's a chance for showers and thundershowers through the evening hours. Today's high will be in the upper 60s.

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 to stall before it passes through the city, leaving us on the cool, wet side of things.
