The sign says it all. The weather doesn't get much better than a sunny and 70 degree April day. Or does it? The air is bone dry and the wind is going to pick up later, leading the weather service to issue a Red Flag Warning, which means "critical fire weather conditions are occurring or imminent". Look out for brush fires, Staten Island!
If anything tomorrow will exceed today for mid-April weather goodness. How does the sunny mid-70s grab you?
Enjoy the nice weather while you can because it is all downhill into the crapper after Saturday. A back door will sneak in from New England as early as tomorrow afternoon, perhaps bringing a shower tomorrow night. The front's passage means a cloudy Sunday with a high in the upper 50s is in store. Monday is looking rainy and even cooler. It may not reach 50.
