This morning's water vapor satellite image, complete with dry tongue of air from Georgia to Maryland, from the National Weather Service
You might think that today's forecast, warm with a chance of a thundershower, is a harbinger of spring. You would be wrong. Mother Nature lives up to her cruel mistress moniker by dangling spring in front of us while all the while holding another cold snap in a gloved hand behind her back. A warm front swept northward through town last night, raising the temperature to 62 degrees this morning. It may warm a degree or two more, probably not enough to reach the record of 68, before a cold front arrives in the early afternoon. Before it begins to cool there may be an occasional shower or possibly a thunderstorm. There's a big gob of rain on the radar just east of Atlantic City, that may just skirt the city.
The temperature is going to fall 10-15 degrees by late this afternoon. It will be breezy behind the front as well. Windy weather should continue through tomorrow night. Tomorrow's high will be in the low-40s, which is normal for this time of year. The second half of the week is looking chilly. Highs Wednesday through Friday should only reach the mid-30s. Gothamist may have to break out our beard cap. A slight chance of snow on Wednesday will give way to sunny skies on Thursday and Friday.

There aren't great options for relieving overcrowding at P.S. 16 in Paulus Hook. It's a consequence of a economic boom — and huge influx of residents.
