Today's weather is all about the wind. As a cool air mass heads into the area following last night's frontal passage we are going to see sustained winds of 20-25 miles an hour this afternoon with gusts to around 40 mph. The wind alone is not quite as bad as yesterday, when a wind gust topped out at 53 mph at JFK and over 60 mph along the Connecticut coast, but today is going to be 15-20 degrees colder than yesterday. It's 44 degrees in Central Park as we write this and the mercury is going nowhere but down today. Look for it to be in the upper 30s by early evening.

Wickedly Windy Wednesday
Rain Shall Soon Pass
While the city escaped most of the rain yesterday that is not the case today! Nearly 1.5 inches fell in less than an hour this morning, wreaking havoc for commuters. The rain should end by early afternoon as this tropical/non-tropical mutt of a storm moves northward. Gusty east winds will keep today's high under 70 degrees.
Batten Down the Hatches
Aye, mateys, a strong wind is going to blow. We love days like today when something actually happens in weatherland. What's happening is a cold front tearing across the Northeast this morning. There was a line of storms ahead of the front earlier this morning but they appear to have dissipated. As we type the front is near the border of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It should pass through town by 11 a.m.
