Brrr, the morning breeze has brought on a bit of wind chill this morning. The low in Central Park was 39 but the wind pushed the apparent temperature down near freezing. Gusty northwest winds will bring plenty of cold air to the area today keeping the high to a brisk 50 degrees. If today's parade isn't enough to satisfy your Yankees fervor, consider what their World Series victory means for this winter's snowfall.

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.

Kind of a Jekyll and Hyde weather situation shaping up for the week ahead. Dr. Jekyll shows itself today and tomorrow with plenty of sun and warmth. Look for unseasonably warm highs around 80 degrees today and a bit warmer tomorrow. The fair weather is courtesy of a Midwestern high pressure system today and a high coming down from New England tomorrow.

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.

While July 9th, 1936 had the highest temperature, 106, ever recorded in Central Park, today is the anniversary of the warmest day and night. August 7th, 1918 started out with a sultry low of 82 and warmed up to 102 for an average daily temperature of 92 degrees. Must've been a great day to be in an AC-less, fifth floor, one-bedroom tenement on Orchard St. that you shared with 20 of your closest friends and relatives. The Times reported that "tens of thousands went to Central Park to sleep, and hundreds lay in Bryant Park and other open spaces". The much more colorful Tribune quotes an "East Side boy" as yelling to his friend "Say, Emil, let's go over to the Bowery and watch the horses fall dead."

The storm cell that brought hail to Yonkers last night skipped the Bronx only to hit Nassau County. The Weather Service is sending meteorologists out this morning to see if some of the damage was caused by a tornado.

The week starts off with another sunny and warm day. The city is in a meteorological DMZ between a low pressure system that's bringing lots of showers to the Southeast and Gulf Coast and a weak low near Hudson Bay. The latter system is headed this way but before it gets here there should be plenty of sun and a seasonable high in the low 80s most places but cooler along the shore.

June is welcoming us with some fine weather. WCBS 2 meteorologist Elise Finch says, "We are looking at, still, some very mild conditions...We start with lots of sunshine. The day will be a little cool to start, but we're expecting a high of 73 degrees. We're going to have breezy conditions for your Monday, [but] all-in-all, a very nice day - plenty of sunshine out there." Unfortunately, tomorrow will be cloudy (or partly cloudy) with a chance of showers in the evening; the temperature will hits the 80s before the front moves in, though. There may be showers on Wednesday morning as well. More on NYC weather at Weather Underground.

Instead of a man-bites-dog or dog-bites-man news item, the weather for the next couple of days is more of a man-and-dog-enjoy-an-afternoon-in-the-park story. High pressure centered just off the coast means New York is in for a couple of warm, sun-filled, warn days. Today's high will approach 80 degrees inland while remaining a little cooler than that along the shore (outdoor amusements were located on Coney Island for a reason). Tomorrow should be a couple of degrees warmer than today.

Less than a week ago April's average temperature was running almost a degree below normal. That's not the case anymore! The last four days, with one record high and one tie, were 19.75 degrees above average, meaning April will wind up a couple of degrees warmer than normal.

If you don't like the cold and gloomy weather, don't despair; there's sunlight at the end of this cloudy tunnel. As mentioned on Monday a low pressure system is skirting south of the city. With the counter-clockwise circulation around that storm we've been subjected to cold easterly winds from over the Atlantic. All that will quickly change as the low gets replaced by a large high pressure system.

Absolutely beautiful weather today. Thanks to a large high pressure system we'll see mostly sunny skies and a high near 60. The yin to today's yang will be a cloudy, rainy and cooler Thursday.

Not too much happening this weekend weatherwise. A high pressure system is moving across the eastern half of the country the next few days. For us that means a brilliantly sunny and cool Friday the 13th. Clouds will be on the increase tomorrow as the axis of the high moves to our east. It will also be a lot warmer. Look for the temperature to climb into the mid 50s.

A big high pressure system is bringing fair skies to the eastern half of the country today. Despite the sun we won't see much warming today or tomorrow. The fresh snow cover is so bright that the sunlight is being reflected away instead of being used to heat the region. Look for highs around freezing today and the upper 30s to near 40 tomorrow.

In a startling development the Times discovered yesterday that the weather forecast is sometimes inaccurate. That a blown forecast is worth reporting should be seen as good news, as it means that forecasts are now generally seen as accurate. Gothamist freely admits that we were wrong in Monday's forecast. Yesterday' snow was quite pretty and not the ugly mess we anticipated. Snowfall amounts ranged from 1.1 inches at JFK to 5.5 inches at Great Kills.

The skies have clouded up as a cold front approaches the region. The front extends out from a storm passing way to the north. The city is far enough away that there's only enough moisture to bring the clouds and a few off-and-on flurries this afternoon and evening. Look for a high in the mid 30s.

That didn't take long. One week after the coldest day of the year the city will have its warmest day of the year. The clockwise circulation of air around a high pressure system moving offshore means relatively warm breezes out of the west today. The high should reach the low 40s and possibly the mid 40s this afternoon.

Before yesterday December was running slightly cooler than normal. A record-tying high of 65 pushed the month to nearly a degree warmer than average and had Williamsburg residents enjoying the simple pleasures of the day without resorting to irony. As seen in today's weather graphic, a cold front arrived yesterday evening, leading to an immediate drying of the air and a gradual cooling.

The first day of winter was wintery. Imagine that. Search Google News for first day of winter to find hundreds of lazily written news items about the not so amazing coincidence that winter weather occurred on the solstice. We did enjoy reading the reports of thundersnow occurring from Seattle to Maine.

Is today's sun Mother Nature's way of making amends for yesterday's rain? We have no idea. We do know that the sun won't last all day. Clouds and a slight chance of showers will be rolling in on a stiff southwesterly breeze this afternoon and evening. Today's high will be a very pleasant 55 degrees.

The first half of the week looks to be quiet and cool. It will be breezy today as a high pressure system makes it's presence felt, but that's about the most weather excitement the area will see until Thursday. Today's high will be in the low 50s. If you want snow, the breeze is bringing it to the lake effect regions of Central and Western New York.

From a forecasting perspective this has been a rare week where the weather has behaved as expected. The good behavior shows no sign of stopping and there's no reason to believe it will start acting erratically over the weekend. In addition to not pulling any tricks, it looks like ok Mother Nature will give us a fall treat.

The cause of yesterday's storm, a stacked low pressure system over Quebec, will continue to bring breezy conditions to the city today. Winds around 20 mph and temperatures in the mid 40s means wind chills in the 20s and 30s. A line of showers may drop a bit of rain across the city this afternoon. The breeze will begin to calm down tomorrow as a high pressure system displaces the Canadian storm. Expect a sunny, slightly less windy high around 50 degrees on Thursday. Great weather for parading and trick-or-treating is in store for Halloween. Clear skies and a high around 60 are likely, and Friday evening won't be nearly as cold as earlier in the week.

There's not much to say about this weekend's weather other than enjoy! A high pressure system has decided to take a vacation over Cedar Point for the Columbus Day weekend. That will bring clear skies and mild temperatures to the northeastern states through at least Monday. Highs each day will be unseasonably warm, mostly in the low- to mid-70s.

It took a while to work up the courage, but a shy high pressure system has finally made its presence known. The anticyclone's faltering first steps this weekend allowed some rain to fall early Sunday morning and it drizzled a bit over the city this morning as well. That drizzle is gone and the city should see clear skies for the next couple of days. Today's high should reach the breezy mid 60s.

Today is the last day to enjoy the current dry spell. The high pressure system that's given the city clear skies is beginning to move away. Before it leaves we should have a sunny and seasonable day with a high in the lower 70s..

Today is the fall equinox! Everywhere on earth gets twelve hours of daylight today. The equinox occurs at precisely 11:44:16 this morning. That's fourty-four minutes and sixteen seconds after eleven a.m. Yikes! For a second there we were channelling Phil Schaap. The next few days don't look very exciting weatherwise. That's good as dull weather in September is usually quite lovely.

Nearly perfect weather is in store for the last weekend of summer. Easterly winds circulating around a high pressure system centered over the Bay of Fundy will keep the city cool today. Expect a high only in the upper 60s this afternoon. The last time the city failed to reach 70 degrees was on May 28th. Winds will shift in a clockwise direction through the weekend as the high moves eastward. The wind shift will warm the city into the lower 70s tomorrow and maybe up to 80 by Sunday. There's a slight chance we'll see some clouds tomorrow morning and again on Sunday.

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.

Almost half an inch of rain fell during yesterday's dramatic thunderstorms. The weather today and tomorrow won't be nearly as dramatic. Mostly clear skies, with a few non-threatening cumulus, and slightly cooler than normal temperatures should be the rule until Friday. We can expect a high in the mid to low 70s on both days. Tonight's low should drop to the 50s in the city and possibly into the 40s on eastern Long Island.
