NYC Weekend Weather – Mar 3, 2017

The record breaking warmth of only a couple days ago seems like ancient history. We could see some snow flurries to kick off the weekend, then a very cold airmass takes hold with temperatures well below normal. Another warm up is in store to start next week.

Rest of today – mostly sunny to clear skies to start. High temperatures near 40°F. Later in the day, and into the evening hours, an arctic front is forecast to pass through. Snow showers are anticipated to accompany this frontal boundary, though they should not result in any appreciable accumulation.

Saturday – behind the passage of this arctic front, winds shift to the northwest and pick up into the 15-25mph range, with stronger gusts. High temperatures will struggle to top freezing even with lots of sun, as overnight lows will be around 20°F. Wind chills will be in the teens or lower.

Sunday – overnight into Sunday, low temperatures are expected to drop into the teens. Sunny conditions prevail, with slightly warmer temperatures in the mid-30s.

Monday – a warm front will push through, finally breaking the spell of very cold weather. Temperatures should warm up into the upper-40s to near 50°F as clouds increase.
