The late-winter weather rollercoaster continues on its up and down journey this week. After a cool weekend today will be the most pleasant day of the week. A weak high pressure system sliding out to sea will keep the skies mostly sunny. Highs today will be in the mid-40s.

Can you believe that it warmed up to 64 degrees yesterday? You may have missed it as the normal diurnal temperature pattern, you know, coldest in the morning, warmest in the afternoon was upset by a late-night cold front. The high happened at 1:52 a.m. and the low of 43 didn't occur until midnight. Cold air continues to pour into the region behind the front. While it will be a sunny day, this afternoon is...

The ragged march to winter weather continues. Unlike last month, which was mostly warm for days on end, November keeps bouncing between cold and warm episodes as the atmosphere struggles with the transition to a wintertime circulation pattern. Today will be warmer than normal as the morning rain tapers off to a drizzly fog. The rain's not going away! The tree lighting at Lincoln Center looks to be a soggy occasion. A low pressure...

Holy icicle breath, where's Batman when you need him? Mr. Freeze has taken over the city and he's going to keep us in his grip for at least a week. Although today and tomorrow will bear the brunt of the cold, there won't be much warming until next Monday at the earliest. The freeze covers much of the northern half of the country, from New England down to the Ohio Valley and back up to Montana. With an expected low of thirty below we can see why Bob Dylan wanted to leave Hibbing, Minnesota.

Ooh, here's some obscure weather trivia. The big rain we had last week pushed Central Park's total for the year to over 50 inches. That makes 2006 the fourth consecutive year in which precipitation exceeded 50 inches --the first time that's happened since records began in 1869.

If you were to look at this morning's radar map you might think a lot of rain is imminent. You'd be twenty percent right.

Meh. We're about to enter a stretch of meh weather. An upper-level disturbance tonight and a warm front that will stall out as a stationary front over the weekend will usher in several days of warmer, yet off-and-on drizzlyrainyfoggycloudy weather. Warm fronts are typically weak. The storm driving this one is far away in the Ohio Valley. That adds up to a front that can't do much of anything. Until a bigger storm comes along the front is going to meander north and south for a few days.

Fear not fellow Gothamist, the rain's running out of time. The tropical interloper known as Cindy is quickly moving through town. As the Channel 7 radar attests, it's not too long before she's gone. While she's here a flood watch is in effect. Your favorite outdoor events may still be on for tonight!

A Nor'easter is going to form this evening as a storm currently over the Ohio Valley moves out to sea. The Hub of the Universe may get a lot of thick falling snow but our backwater of a burgh will be too far away from the center of the storm to see much action. We may get an inch or two of snow tomorrow, but expect rain tonight. The rain and snow won't last long and we should have decent weather for a parade or looking at orange fabric in Central Park. Please do not blame Gothamist, but AccuWeather is predicting the return of cold weather late next week.

What can Gothamist say about the upcoming weather other than it sucks eggs? Frankly, we have no idea what "sucks eggs" means or where that phrase comes from, but it doesn't sound good and neither does our weather. Look for rain to mix with sleet and snow as the day progresses. If it is still raining after the ground freezes look out for freezing rain in the mix. Eventually all the rain will turn to snow. Expect snow to dominate the precipitation mix in the northern suburbs, where they are under a winter storm warning.

A cold front well to our west along the Ohio Valley (Gothamist doesn't know why but meteorologists love to mention cold fronts as being "along the Ohio Valley") is slowly creeping toward us. A cold front ain't nuthin' but a boundary with a warm, moist air mass ahead of it, and cold, dry air behind it. Cold, dry air, being denser, easily pushes warm, moist air out of its way. When pushed, warm air rises, cools, saturates, forms clouds, and then rain. You know the drill. With all that happening there is a slight chance of rain tonight, but the rest of the afternoon looks sunny.
