The autumnal equinox happened around 5:51 yesterday morning. There were equal parts day and night everywhere on earth. Were the buildings not in the way, you could have witnessed yesterday's sunrise and sunset both occurring down the middle of Stuyvesant Street, the only street in Manhattan where that phenomenon can happen on the same day. Although today is the first full day of fall, continued summer warmth will be the norm for the next few......

We were tempted this morning to throw up a pretty sky photo from the Gothamist Contribute pool and not write anything because there's not much weather to discuss. The week is starting out cool but will get warmer. By Thursday we should be seeing maximum temperatures in the upper-70s to around 80 degrees as the high pressure system that will dominate the weather this week moves further eastward. Skies are expected to stay mostly clear......

One reason for the unpredictability of a hurricane is that the storm gets big enough to perturb its surrounding environment. When that happens you get a contest of equals in the atmosphere, the tropical system can start to deform the atmospheric around it, and the outcome is uncertain. That didn't happen with relatively weak Tropical Depression Gabrielle. She briefly intensified to tropical storm status, but weakening after touching the Carolina coast she never had the......

Another sunny and mild day is on tap for today. The wind has shifted to come out of the southwest ahead of an approaching cold front. The wind shift means we'll see slightly warmer, with a high close to 90, slightly more humid air today. The front is weak and there's not much moisture associated with it so we should stay dry until tomorrow. Tomorrow will see a stronger cold front approaching in the......

So, last week's weather featured intense rain that shut down the subway system, a tornado skipping through Staten Island and Brooklyn, an unbearably steamy afternoon, and a couple days of near-record low temperatures. This week's weather should feature, uh… uh… well, not much of anything other than warm, sunny days. If you haven't already seen it the Brooklyn Daily Eagle has a nice, but small, map of the tornado path. First touching down on Staten......

It should be breezy today and tomorrow. While Gothamist thinks breezy is a fun word to say aloud, its use indicates that not much is happening weatherwise. We may see some clouds from Tropical Storm Nicole as it moves northward toward Nova Scotia, and later in the week we may get some rain as what remains of Tropical Depression Matthew, which dumped craploads of rain on Louisiana, gets caught up in a trough of low......

The airlines are being friendly with Hurricane Ivan rescheduling...but what about The Tropical Depression Formerly Known as Ivan? Gothamist has a 9:30 PM flight to Indianapolis tonight, and TWC is calling for rain starting around lunchtime, with potential thunderstorms joining the party at 4. The airline I'm flying doesn't have a ton of weather information on their site--basically a syndicated happy map of the USA with some clouds and suns, and a link to Meteorlogix,......
