Good afternoon, NYC! I hope you had an amazing weekend and a great Monday! Today was just spectacular in terms of weather! Inland locations saw highs near 80, NYC itself saw highs in the low 70s, while Long Island/coastal locations saw highs in the low 60s. Now that is not shabby at all for the final day of winter. Yes, today is the final day of Winter 2011-2012, and what a wacky winter it has been! I will have a post discussing the winter we had in early April, so stay tuned for that! Anyway, spring officially kicks off at 1:14 am Tuesday (overnight tonight)! The weather tomorrow will be a bit different than today. Expect morning clouds and fog. Skies will clear as the day wares on, but temperatures will be cooler! Highs will be in the upper 60s to low 70s for the majority of the region. Coastal locations will be cooler. We begin to warm up once again by the time Wednesday rolls around! We will be dealing with morning fog again during the morning hours of Wednesday. Morning clouds should give away to afternoon sunshine. High temperatures will be in the 70s for the majority of the region. Thursday looks to be our warmest day so far of 2012! On Thursday, the winds will shift more from the west, ushering in warm air with less of an ocean influence. This will allow temperatures to soar to 80 and even passed 80 for inland locations! NYC has the potential of seeing 80 as well! Coastal areas may be a bit cooler as usual. Friday will be a bit cooler than Thursday. Many areas will be in the mid to upper 70s, possibly similar to today’s highs. After Friday, it looks like 60s will dominate, possibly even some 50s, so enjoy this warmth! The next chance for widespread showers looks to occur around Sunday, so we have a beautiful week in terms of sunshine and warmth ahead! Enjoy and have a great workweek!
In news other than weather, France experienced a terrible tragedy on Monday. A shooter shot and killed 4 Jewish people outside a Jewish school in the region of Toulouse, France. Please take a moment of silence to remember and honor the victims and the family and friends of the victims who was affected. Thank you.
