Discussion
The warm up that began here on Tuesday likely reached its peak yesterday with temperatures reaching the 70 degree mark and today will remain unseasonably warm; however, colder air is on the way for the NYC metro region. Low pressure will track northeast across the Great Lakes today and will drag a cold front through the region paving the way for a much cooler weekend. In fact, temperatures later tonight will drop into the low-to-mid 30's to go along with a strong NW wind and they'll hold at or below 50 degrees for afternoon highs on Saturday. Another low pressure system could produce a bit of precipitation around here early next week and it could be just cold enough for a bit of a wintry mix. One final note, clocks will need to be turned ahead early Sunday morning as we switch back to daylight savings time.
