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......

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......

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......

Spring Central Park Sunset by AMARTI02 on Flickr A pleasant day is in store for today and tomorrow, with a brief interruption in between. A gentle southerly breeze and a day of sun should warm the city up to near 60 degrees this afternoon. A decaying cold front arrives tonight and brings with it a slight chance of rain. The rain, if it even happens, shouldn't occur until after tonight's game at Shea. Clouds......

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......

Although the city was mostly spared, wind and rain caused quite a mess across the metro area last night. About twenty thousand homes lost power, including 900 in Queens and 300 in the Bronx. The rain is not over! There is one more line of storms headed our way. The rain is currently over central New Jersey and will pass through the city this morning. Skies should rapidly clear in the early afternoon. Until then,......

Yesterday's high of 40 and low of 28 was exactly average for Valentine's Day. Today, like all the children in Lake Wobegon, will be above average with a high temperature close to 50 degrees. The reverse will be true tomorrow. A cold front tonight will usher in a quick blast of cooler air. The high tomorrow will only be around freezing. Earlier in the week the front looked like a rainmaker, but we should......

Whoa, way too much weather happening today. First, an equation: warm, moist air + cold ground = dense fog this morning. Second, possible record high today. The record is 58, reached most recently in 1991. Since it is already 57 the record is probably in the bag. Third, rain rain rain. The big storm that spawned dozens of tornadoes yesterday, killing at least 45 people in the Mid-South is currently centered over Cincinnati. A series......

As we mentioned over the weekend, Staten Island Chuck predicted a Giants Super Bowl victory as well as an early spring. He got the football prediction right, but what's the deal with the snow, Chuck? We tried to talk to him but his publicist would not return our calls! That forced us to look at a few weather maps, which led us to see that the snow shower was actually a harbinger of warmer weather......

Were you rudely awakened by a clap of thunder early this morning? We heard one at 2:49 a.m. and again around six and seven. Gothamist is going to be a grumpy worker bee today! Yes, we were treated to a rare January thunderstorm last night. Showers and possibly another thundershower or two will continue until the early afternoon. A storm currently over Michigan is going to drag a warm front and then a cold front......

Our flirting with record high temperatures should come to an end early this afternoon as a cold front sweeps across the city. The cold front is part of the same storm system that brought tornadoes and flooding to the midwest. Before the front arrives we will see one last run up toward a record (today's is 64 degrees set in 1937). By this evening, after the front has passed, it will cool to the upper-40s.......

Remember that cold weather last week? The coldest day was Thursday when the temperature was seventeen degrees below normal. Today the weather pendulum swings way in the other direction as it should be twenty degrees above normal. Tomorrow we should be even warmer, at 25 degrees above normal. For those of you who haven't bothered to memorize the climate normals that works out to a high in the upper-50s today and lower-60s tomorrow. Tomorrow's......
