Good evening New York! I hope you all had the chance to go outside over these past few days! We experienced almost nonstop sunshine with highs in the 70s for many! Coastal locations were stuck in the 50s and 60s until today, when even some coastal areas on Long Island reached 70! Unfortunately, tomorrow and Friday will be quite different from these past few days. A cold front is sweeping through New England right now, bringing much colder weather behind it. This cold front is moving to the west, rather than to the east, like most front do. For this reason, it comes from the “back,” so we call it a backdoor cold front. These fronts are difficult to predict. Maine has been seeing snow today and this evening, and Boston was stuck in the 40s and had a cloudy and foggy day. While, the NYC won’t see the cold to that extreme, therefore, no snow, we will still see highs much cooler, about 15 degrees cooler in many cases for most! NYC on north and east will see highs in the mid to upper 50s to near 60 tomorrow. Long Island will see highs in the mid-40s in eastern Long Island to near 50 in western Long Island. Areas north and west, and south of NYC will see temperatures nearing 70 or above yet again because this backdoor cold front won’t make it that far south and west tomorrow! Some showers are possible tomorrow (Thursday) night. Friday will feature many locations to be in the upper 50s to low 60s. Long Island will stay in the mid-50s generally. There is also the threat for thundershowers during the day on Friday. We warm up for the weekend and a ridge looks to set up next week, bringing in highs possibly near 80 for some by mid-next week! Stay tuned for your weekend forecast and more information on next weeks potential March “heat wave!”
