This would have been an excellent week to escape to Miami! We are going to have a bitter blast of cold air beginning later today. It's already quite windy outside, but tonight and tomorrow will feel downright nasty as an arctic air mass whooshes into town. Before then temperatures will creep up toward 40 degrees. After the front, we'll see a quick cooling into the 20s before reaching the lower teens tomorrow morning. If you're wondering, we won't break the record low of five degrees which was set in 1872. more ›

Today's our lucky day! As late as 4:30 this morning, Gothamist was having a little insomnia problem, the Weather Service was calling for widespread freezing rain during the morning rush. Thankfully, that threat and the mess it would have created, have passed and all we've got to worry about today is a few flurries. more ›

Startling weather news! Temperatures may dip below freezing tonight as we'll be on the southern end of a polar front moving over New England. Only a degree or two below freezing, but cold enough to be our coolest night in nearly three weeks. If that's not cold enough for you, head up to Montreal for some near-zero (Fahrenheit) chills. more ›

Oh, snow, why did you tease us so? Did you see the snow this morning? Gothamist saw a few scattered flakes. It was a bit of a letdown after the tantalizing promises in yesterday's forecast. Given the record temperatures on Friday, the few flakes and cold air today are an episode of Extreme Makeover: Weather Edition. Saturday was the last of a nine-day run of warm air in which temperatures averaged ten degrees above normal. Not that it warms us up any this week but the first eleven months of 2006 are tied with 1999 as the seventh warmest January-November period on record. more ›

Happy Halloween and happy Indian summer! Given our latitudinal constraints it is difficult to imagine us having a much better weather treat for the last day of October. The thermometer should top out around 70 degrees today as southwesterly breezes bring warm air up from the, uh, southwest. There's a slight chance of rain for late tonight, but we don't foresee any rainfall during prime trick-or-treating hours or while the parade is taking place. The warmth and slight chance of rain continues until a weak cold front sweeps through town tomorrow. Thursday is a transition day. Friday and the weekend are likely to be clear and chilly. more ›

Important things first: Shea Stadium will see a bit of rain and wind this evening. Not ideal weather for baseball, but they should be able to get the game in. Yankee Stadium will also see a bit of wind and rain, but it doesn't really matter. more ›

Whoa, the Weather Service is getting very specific on us for this afternoon: more ›
