Discussion
After an unusually cold start to the day, sunshine will boost temperatures into the 60’s by later in the afternoon, but there will continue to be some gusty winds around the region. After a mainly clear and chilly night, clouds will increase on Saturday as low pressure heads this way from the south-central states and rain is likely from late tomorrow into early Sunday. Looking ahead to next week, a big time warm up is on the way for the eastern states as strong high pressure aloft will build eastward. Temperatures will likely climb to 70 degrees by Tuesday afternoon in the NYC metro region and could very well flirt with the 80 degree mark by mid-week.
