A cold front passed through the region last night and slowly tagging along behind it is some drier air. The dew point temperature has dropped by ten degrees, making venturing outside a whole lot more bearable. The dry air means sun mixed with clouds and a slight chance of late-afternoon showers as the sunlight heats things up to the mid 80s.

There's one more day of rain to contend with before the dry weekend. Two upper level disturbances are going to pass overhead today. You know the drill, look out for scattered showers and thunderstorms from early this afternoon through the evening. These are expected to be slow-moving storms, so they may dump lots of rain where they strike. Also, small hail and gusty winds. We'll see highs from the mid 70s to near 80.

The sign says it all. The weather doesn't get much better than a sunny and 70 degree April day. Or does it? The air is bone dry and the wind is going to pick up later, leading the weather service to issue a Red Flag Warning, which means "critical fire weather conditions are occurring or imminent". Look out for brush fires, Staten Island!

Bone dry air has moved into town following Saturday's half-inch of rain, no doubt aiding and abetting yesterday's Staten Island brush fires. As the winds died down the lack of humidity allowed the temperature to plummet overnight. This morning's lows bottomed out near the freezing mark across the city. The dry air mass will move eastward today, allowing the mercury to rebound to almost 60 this afternoon (BTW, could NY1's weather page be any worse?). It should be in the mid 50s when Mike Pelfrey throws the first pitch at Citi Field's regular season debut.

After a cool August, September is running more than three degrees warmer than normal. That flip has largely been due to the incursion of hot and humid air dragged this far northward by Hanna and Ike. Yesterday's oppressive humidity, the dew point reached an icky 73 degrees, has been ushered away by an early morning cold front. The cool air behind the front won't get here until tomorrow, so for today we'll have to settle for a sunny, breezy and dry day with a high in the mid-80s.

Not much happening in New York City weather today, or much of this week for that matter. A high pressure system parked upstate should keep things sunny, warm and dry through Thursday. Expect highs in the mid 80s each day. Wear plenty of sunscreen if you're going out to the West Indian American Day parade today. Next weekend we may need to concern ourselves with Tropical Storm Hanna.

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 reach the mid 70s. Tomorrow's high may creep into the low 80s.

The dew point dropped like a rock yesterday afternoon leading to clear skies and much more comfortable weather overnight. A little breeze, low humidity and a high in the upper 80s will make today nearly picture perfect. Get out and enjoy it while you can as the relief will be short. The high pressure system bringing the dry air isn't all that large. Once it moves offshore tomorrow winds will shift to come out of the south, bringing warmer and more humid air. Tomorrow's high temperature should push 90 degrees.
