Spring Arives, For Good!!!

After getting hit hard by sleet and snow last week, you'd think we were still firmly in winter's grip. Fortunately, winter will officially come to an end at 8:07 PM tomorrow and the weather will follow suit. We'll start the week off on a chilly note, but we'll end it on a mild one. The best news of all is that the arctic connection has finally broken down. The chilly temperatures that are with us early this week are the coldest we'll experience for the next 2-3 weeks!! The following is a breakdown of the next five days.

 

We'll start the week off on the chilly side. High temperatures on Monday will be limited to the low to mid 40's by afternoon cloud cover. There may even be some snow showers late Monday north and west of the city keeping the wintry theme alive.

 

The sun will return on Tuesday, but a fresh shot of cold air will keep it breezy and chilly. Temperatures will reach the low to mid 40's during the afternoon before plummeting into the 20's Tuesday night. Northern and western suburbs will see temperatures fall into the teens Tuesday night. It will still feel like winter at 8:07PM when spring officially arrives.

 

Wednesday will a variable one as we'll start the day off on a very cold note. Morning temperatures will be in the 20's in the city and in the 10's in the suburbs. We'll begin to crawl out of the cold pattern Wednesday afternoon, however, as winds swing around out of the south. Afternoon temperatures will again be in the low to mid 40's.

 

It will finally feel like spring on Thursday as a southwesterly wind pumps in plenty of mild air. Under a mix of sun and clouds, afternoon temperatures will soar well into the 50's. Parts of the area could even hit 60 degrees.

 

Friday looks like it will be the warmest day of the week. We're currently forecasting a mix of sun and clouds with afternoon temperatures reaching the low to mid 60's. We will, however, have to keep our eyes on a cold front that will be approaching our area from the northwest. At this point, it appears the cold front will stall to our northwest allowing a warm friday. If the front sinks further south than expected, cloud cover could increase and hold temperatures down slightly.

Bronx Girl- You can always hold me to my forecast. If I'm wrong, I'm the first to admit it.

Uncle Rob- I agree with you. You can't rule out snow until late April. Fortunately, the next 2 weeks WILL be snow free. And even two weeks out, the arctic air will be bottled way up in Canada. So, our shances for snow will be minimal as any snow would have to be falling after the first few days in April.

NJ Dog lover- Mother's day is usually considered the last possibility of frost. I'd wait until then to plant any annuals. By the way, my dogs like the cold so they're a bit bummed with the warmer weather.

Lisa20- Only if there's no waqves that day. Otherwise, I'll be surfing.

Mikeman- I'm down in Long Beach quite frequently surfing.

Sodarnsexy- I still think Friday will reach the 60's. A weak cold front will kind of fall apart right over us Friday morning. So I'm forecasting morning clouds with a few showers followed by a mix of sun and clouds. As long as the sun breaks out, we'll climb into the 60's.

John can you figure out weather in 3 weeks advance?

3 weeks is pretty tough. It would be impossible to predict details.

The overall trend is definitely becoming warmer. The arctic air two weeks from now will be trapped very far north. So, in three weeks, I'd say you have a pretty good chance of having close to seasonable temperatures. Around April 11, the average high temperature reaches 60 degrees. So, I'd say it would be quite possible that temperatures would be somewhere in the 50's or 60's. Sun, rain and wind would be impossible to predict right now.

And Lisa, you're definitely not the only woman who finds Mike to be quite handsome. He has quite a fan base so maybe you don't need a shrink.

Hello John, you big time surfer boy, now it's cold again! See that's this crazy March weather! You never know what we're gonna get. I need this weather to stay nice because I have just gotten over a bad cold. I can't believe it reached the 70's last week!

Hope you feel better Carmen. It won't stay straight up warm, but it will be much milder than the winter temperatures we've been experiencing. We'll have a lot of days in the 50's and above over the next several weeks.

Spring sprung on schedule yesterday!! We hit 67 degrees in central park which was 7 degrees better than expected.

Monique- The rain that hit yesterday arrived during the evening. I saw the cold front earlier in the week when I started this post and discussed how it would cross the area this morning. That is exactly what happened. Some rain did preceed the front yesterday evening. I thought on Monday the rain would hold off until Thursday night. I was really only a few hours off which is pretty decent four days out.

Carmen- The water is still 38 degrees. Be careful what you ask for!! Only the diehards will be out there with me today.

Good morning to you, Carmen!

GREAT weekend!! Surfed 2 1/2 hours Friday afternoon and 2 hours yesterday morning. Both days had some really good waves. And, it's getting warmer.

Saturday the waves weren't so great so I did some spring cleaning in my car.

Tomorrow could climb into the low to perhaps even mid 70's. It's gonna feel hot after such a cold late winter.
