Today's weather is courtesy of a classic air battle. To the north is a high pressure system centered over New Brunswick. Off Cape Hatteras is a low pressure system that used to be hurricane Ida. In between is the Atlantic Coast from Maryland to Massachussetts where the fringes of ex-Ida are bashing into the calm Canadian. The pressure gradient between the two means the Jersey Shore is taking a pounding. Sustained, gale force, onshore winds are responsible for coastal flood warnings in New Jersey and coastal flood advisories for much of Long Island Sound and city's Atlantic beaches.

With an "upper-level trough on top, a surface high pressure system on the bottom, and the remnants of Ida" in between, the weather was extremely blustery and rainy yesterday and is expected to continue today. 1010WINS reports that some southern NJ towns have declared state of emergency and "The Coast Guard halted the search for three missing New Jersey fishermen whose boat sank in rough seas Wednesday night." One surfer surveying the Jersey shore told WCBS 2, "As you can see behind me the ocean is pretty much one big rip current right now, just sucking out to sea. So anybody caught going out there right now is not gonna be too safe so I'd avoid all water contact."

The clouds may be gloomy but kinky weather pr0n fans should take cheer, there's a twisted meteorological three-way going on outside. An upper-level trough on top, a surface high pressure system on the bottom, and the remnants of Ida trying to wedge itself between the two will determine the weather for the rest of the week. The trough is providing the energy to make the atmosphere unstable, Ida's leftovers are providing the moisture and the high pressure will mostly prevent anything from happening.

The high for today is expected to reach 70 degrees. At 15 degrees above the normal high that will make today the most warmer-than-normal day in the city since a four-day hot spell last April. The record high of 75 degrees set in 1975 is safe for another year.

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.

You may not have noticed at the time but a cold front passed through the city late yesterday afternoon. Sunny morning skies will gradually give way to afternoon clouds. Today's high will only reach the low 50s. It will be a chilly night for baseball. Look for temperatures in the mid 40s during the game.

It is shaping up to be a rather weak week for weather in New York. Today is looking cloudy and cool because a low pressure system way off to the southeast is providing easterly winds off the ocean. Look for a high in the mid 50s and the slight chance of light rain through the evening hours.

Pretty much an average day today as high pressure hovers over southern New England. More sun than clouds this morning and more clouds than sun this afternoon as the temperature heads up to near 60 degrees. Very pleasant for Winter Weather Awareness Week.

Good news baseball fans! The steady rain should be gone by this evening. Over 1.5 inches of rain has fallen since yesterday, but the storm bringing that precipitation is starting to head out to sea. A few showers are expected through the afternoon but they should diminish to a drizzle by game time. Temperatures will remain steady in the mid 50s through the evening.

Today would be a great day for a World Series game. Sunny with seasonable temperatures topping out in the low 60s thanks to a high pressure system. Tomorrow's temperatures will remain seasonable but it will be mostly cloudy and light rain is expected later in the day. Not great baseball weather but the Yankees and Phillies would definitely get the game in if the series started tomorrow.

Short forecast: cool today, warm and wet tomorrow, sunny Sunday.

A quick look at the local National Weather Service website shows no watches, warnings, or advisories anywhere in the forecast zone. The lack of weather action is courtesy of a high pressure over the Tennessee Valley that is slowly moving eastward. That will bring mostly sunny skies and a high near 70 today in the Big Apple. Tomorrow promises to be even warmer as the high pulls warm air up from the Gulf of Mexico. Look for highs in the mid 70s.

It was nice to end a dull gray weekend with a brilliant red sunset last night. This time the red sky at night means the city is in for a week of delight. A high pressure system will be large and in charge for the next several days. The anticyclone will bring clear skies and a high in the breezy mid 50s today. More sun is expected tomorrow through Thursday with temperatures topping out in the mid 60s.

You'll need more than a bonnet to fend off at three, possibly four, storms that will pass our way in rapid succession. The low responsible for the rain and snow so far is moving further out to sea. Rain should diminish this afternoon and evening as a result. Oh, it will still be cold and windy at Yankee stadium this evening and rain showers may return as the game progresses. Game time temperature will be in the lower 40s, but the wind will make it feel more like the mid 30s.

As we mentioned yesterday, the NYC region will see the first Nor'easter of the season starting today and going into the weekend. The rain will start in the afternoon and continue into the evening—1010 WINS reports, "As the storm intensifies, northeast winds howling onto the mid-Atlantic and New England coastline will increase. Wind gusts up to 50 mph are expected through Friday morning, according to the National Weather Service." And, yes, the Yankees, Angels, and those at Yankee Stadium should bundle up and expect a "cold rain."

Clear skies, a cool north breeze, today's weather looks so innocent. Ha! While it may be a sunny 55 this afternoon, tomorrow looks to be a meteorological crapfest. The upper level winds are changing from a west-to-east pattern, which has brings a succession of uneventful high and low pressure systems, to a more wavy north-south pattern. The changing pattern will bring about the first nor'easter of the season a bit ahead of schedule.

The leaves are beginning to turn. Frost covered much of the Hudson valley this morning. Fall has arrived in full. Today's high will stay in the upper 50s, almost ten degrees below normal, as a high pressure system slides across the region.

Today's rain is courtesy of a warm front moving up the east coast. A few episodes of light rain are possible before the front passes through town around the time the Yankees take the field. The clouds ahead of the slow-moving front will keep today's high in the upper 60s. If that's not warm enough for you hop on the next NJ Transit train to Trenton, where it will be in the upper 70s.

Yesterday's fair amount of chaos across the city, from power outages to downed trees, from toppled Sukkot structures to bricks falling off buildings and the city closing down streets to deal with them. Some other stats and stories:

So, about that wind. We've received numerous reports of incidents taking place throughout the boroughs—to name a few: Scaffolding is currently dangling from a building on lower Broadway (the NYPD and FDNY have closed it down at Houston); a large tree just fell on 21st Avenue in Brooklyn, causing structural damage...

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.

Not much happening in the weather around these parts today and tomorrow, but we did notice that, as a harbinger of things to come, there's a band of lake effect rain showers upstate this morning. The city is on the cool side of a high pressure system today, hence the brilliant sun and westerly breeze. Look for a high in the seasonable mid 60s. We'll approach 70 tomorrow as the center of the high passes overhead.

The clear skies we were looking forward to during the day yesterday finally arrived after midnight and departed around sunrise. Sigh. The sun will make a few brief appearances today but is going into hiding again tomorrow as a cold front begins to push this stubborn high pressure system out to sea.

Look outside, this is what happens when a twisty thing meteorologists like to call a vorticity max runs over the top of a surface high pressure system. The vorticity max wants the atmosphere to come out and play but the air under the dome of high pressure is too cool, dry, and nebbishy to join the fun. The stalemate means a mix of sun, clouds and light showers for the rest of today. The Weather Service has been running warm on their temperature forecasts this week so we prefer the Weather Channel's high near 61.

The mercury is making a valiant run into the mid 70s this afternoon. Sunlight in late September isn't strong enough to warm us up all by itself, a helper breeze out of the south is needed to drag warmer air this far north. Here's the catch: The southerly wind is ahead of a cold front which will cool the city down for the remainder of the week.

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.

If you want evidence that "nature abhors a vaccuum" step outside. The stiff easterly breeze is the atmosphere's attempt to balance out the pressure differences between the high over Nova Scotia and the low that's been slowly moving up the coast. Winds off the Atlantic mean the city will see a raw, rainy day with a high only in the mid 60s. The rain will likely be heavy at times and a tornado watch has been issued for the southern half of New Jersey.

This is about the dullest weather situation the city has had in months. There's still a weak low pressure system off the coast of North Carolina. It's trying to move northward but is being held in check by a high pressure system over Nova Scotia. Until that stalemate gets resolved the city is going to see cool and cloudy conditions with a slight chance of rain. There will be a fairly strong breeze off the ocean tomorrow and Friday, limiting highs both days to the mid 60s.

Along with many of us it appears that Mother Nature is also taking a lazy, long holiday weekend. Onshore winds circulating around a high pressure system centered near Nova Scotia will keep the high to around 75 today. There will be a mix of high clouds as a storm off the Carolina coast shoots some moisture northward, but no rain is expected. Perfect for a Carnival!

Look a WCBS 2's Doppler map (pictured) —it looks like today really will be beautiful! And the city's beaches are only open for through Labor Day, so if you want your local surf and sun in, go! The summer's crummy weather ruined summer beachgoing, thanks to lots of rain, Hurricane Bill and Tropical Depression Danny. One Rockaway beachgoer told the Post yesterday, "I feel like summer is just beginning, and now it's over. I'm kind of upset about it. When it has been sunny recently, it's been too humid to sit outside and, before that, it was cold and wet. Now we have perfect beach weather at last -- and the beaches are about to be closed."
