Satellite image that screams "avoid northeastern Texas today" from the National Weather Service There are discrepancies in the details of today's forecast but the Weather Channel, Weather Service and AccuWeather all agree that today will be a beautiful spring day. The Weather Channel says today's high will be 70, while the latter two forecasters are calling for 76 and 77, respectively. Gothamist leans toward the higher temperatures, except near the shore. There's a slight......

US surface weather map from Weather.com When Gothamist glanced at the current weather map above we said "look, the Bermuda High" has arrived. It must be summer." Upon closer examination we see that this high is a temporary visitor, an imposter, and not the summer fixture. Nonetheless, an anticyclone is an anticyclone and this one will keep the city warm and sunny today. Expect highs in the upper-70s. Tonight an irresistible force (a cold......

Sunset by shustersc on Flickr Good-bye gray skies. The sun returned yesterday afternoon, a half-day earlier than expected. The clear skies should stick around until tomorrow afternoon. Today's high will approach 70 degrees and tomorrow should be a few degrees warmer. Returning with the sun is tree pollen. This week's culprits are oak, birch and maple trees. According to Pollen.com, which doesn't let us link directly to their forecast, the pollen count is expected to......

It's Double Weather Awareness Week! Not only is this Severe Weather Awareness Week it is also National Air Quality Week. New York doesn't get thunderstorms and tornadoes with the frequency and ferocity seen in the Southeast and Midwest, but last summer's tornado in Brooklyn is a reminder that tornadoes can and do happen here. No severe weather or air quality problems to worry about today. How about sunny and 60 degrees instead? Despite ending on......

Another sunny spring day is in store for today. The high should be around 75 degrees. For you night people there's a tiny chance of a shower after midnight as an extremely week cold front crosses the region. All will be sunny by tomorrow and slighly drier air will allow the high to approach 80. Although Friday will be cooler, it is still expected to be another sunny day. Cooler, wetter weather may arrive this......

Last night's squall line dumped a quarter inch of rain in just a few minutes. More importantly, the passage of the cold front seems to signal a change in circulation patterns. The cool weather that has predominated the past couple of weeks is nowhere to be seen in the extended forecast. Today won't feel very warm because of the strong wind, but the high should reach a sunny 56. More sun is in store for......

do you see? pachyderm cloud by the_idealist on Flickr Finally, a beautiful, warm spring day! It will be on the breezy side today, but the sun will shine and the high will be around 60. Although the city has been cooler than normal for the past few days, March is on track to be slightly warmer than average. The pleasant weather should continue through tomorrow morning before tanking in the afternoon. A spring storm......

This week starts off with at least a couple of dry days before more March rains arrive. A big high pressure system covers the eastern half of the country this morning. Sinking air and a lack of humidity should keep the city dry today and tomorrow. The Weather Service mentions a slight chance of sprinkles for this afternoon and evening but their heart isn't in it. The high temperature today and tomorrow should flirt with......

Hold on to your tri-cornered hats! The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for today. A steady breeze of 20-30 miles an hour is expected to last much of the day as a strong high pressure system moves into the region following the departure of the deep low that brought us over an inch of rain the last two days. Gusts of up to 40, or even 50 mph are likely throughout the......

A sunny College Walk photo by Ciaophotos Of the four seasons, it is winter that departs most grudgingly. And that was an intense wind late Saturday night! Western New York and Ohio beared the brunt of the weekend storm, with Columbus receiving a record 20 inches. Across the Atlantic our weekend storm is now striking the UK, which was reeling from a weekend storm of their own. Conditions should be fairly calm for the......

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. The temperature won't change much tomorrow, but the city is in for a wet day. A storm currently over Oklahoma is expected to move up through......

Nothing like a sunny Monday to start off the week. Especially when it is likely to be cloudy and wetter tomorrow and Wednesday. Clouds will roll in during the day tomorrow. Rain may begin as early as the afternoon but is most likely Tuesday night. Highs tomorrow and Wednesday should be in the mid-40s. The winds will pick up along with the rain as this is a fairly big storm approaching from the Midwest. The......

The forecast for snow and rain yesterday was a total bust. We saw snow, but we had to go to the Upper Delaware Valley to see it. The next chance, and it is a slim chance, for snow is tomorrow afternoon. Today will remain sunny, but another arctic front should cross the region around noon Thursday. The front will be enough of a disturbance that a few light snow showers might occur. As arctic fronts......

Three days of gloomy overcast skies finally ended early this morning. You may not have noticed but last night's breezy storm managed to briefly warm us up to 61 degrees at 10:20 pm. More impressively, well, for a weather geek like Gothamist, the dew point peaked at 56, which is normal for July but a rarity for December. Several hours later the dew point had fallen into the teens, as a weak high pressure system......
