Well that was a pathetic April Fool's joke of a storm. The city may still see rain possibly mixed with snow this afternoon, but the coastal storm is traveling a bit too far east to bring much precipitation to the city. There's still winter weather advisories posted for Orange County and northwestern Connecticut. We've sent our winter loving correspondent John up to Goshen to investigate. Your best bet for seeing snow in the city today is to head up to the observation deck of the Empire State Building. At times that might be high enough to be above the shallow layer of warm air that's melting the snow as it falls. For those of us on the ground we're looking at periods of rain and a high in the low 40s this afternoon.
The rain should end this evening, giving way to a pleasant weekend. A high pressure system should bring a mix of sun and clouds and a high in the mid 50s tomorrow. A brisk breeze will make for good kite flying. The same temperature, but fewer clouds, are expected on Sunday.
Do you remember March? You know, last month? It ended with nine straight days of cooler than normal weather, turning what had been a very warm month into one that wound up 0.2 degrees below normal. For the most part April is going to continue on the slightly cooler than normal bandwagon. Highs look like they will be in the lower to mid 50s for the next week with the next round of April showers expected on Monday.
