Time to take a collective deep breath and relax. At least that's what the weather forecast is doing. After a few days of extreme temperature variations more typical of Nebraska weather (yesterday was 55 degrees warmer than Sunday morning's record low) we have returned to drab, run-of-the-mill, February conditions for New York.
For today typical weather means a mix of sun and clouds and a high temperature right near the normal of 42 degrees as a weak high pressure system makes a short appearance in the area. A cold front tonight will bring cooler weather for the next couple of days with tomorrow only warming to the mid 30s and Friday maybe reaching the upper 30s. Thursday will be kind of windy, so dress for a wind chill in the lower 20s.
A storm is expected to pass well north of the city on Friday night. At worst that will give us a bit of rain or snow. More importantly, that storm will drag warmer air up here for the weekend. Highs could reach the mid 50s on Saturday and close to 50 on Sunday. The next chance for a significant storm is in the middle of next week but early indications are that it will be a rain event.
