Good evening, NYC area! What an ugly day it has been! Much of the area barely made it to 50. Believe it or not, temperatures may still have the chance to rise this evening, possibly even during the overnight hours. After some showers this morning, clouds are beginning to thin out over northwest New Jersey, such as in Sussex County. That is allowing temperatures to rise near 60 in those locations. Unfortunately, we still have a wind blowing off the Atlantic, so that is fighting the exiting of the clouds, resulting in the continuous overcast conditions. Many areas reported fog this morning. Fog may make itself present once again tonight into tomorrow morning, so be aware of that. Saturday will end up being a much nicer day than today. We will have to deal with some morning clouds and possibly fog, but the sun should end up burning them off. That should lead to more in the way of sunshine for the afternoon hours. High temperatures will be in the low to mid 60s across the region, with upper 50s possible in Long Island. Saturday night will be a chilly one. Lows will end up being in the 40s across the area. Despite mainly clear skies expected for Saturday night, patchy fog is possible yet again during the pre-dawn hours of Sunday. Any fog may linger past sunrise on Sunday. After the fog burns away, mainly sunny skies will be present. Highs on Sunday will be similar to Saturday, maybe a degree or two warmer. Sunday night should be a bit warmer than Saturday night, with lows closer to the 50-degree mark. Expect mainly clear skies.
