This weekend will see a warm start but then a cool down into the below normal range going into next week. A rumble of thunder and showers will precede this cool down. Weather looks pleasant for St. Patrick’s Day festivities and the NYC Half Marathon this weekend. 

Rest of today – mostly cloudy with some breaks of sun after a warm front passes over shortly and we sit in the warm sector of the same storm that tore through the central US earlier this week. As the trailing cold front pulls through this evening, it could provide enough lift for some additional showers and possibly a couple thunderstorms. High temperatures will be above average in the low-60s, mid-60s if some sun breaks through while we’re in the warm sector. Overnight lows behind the cold front should be in the low-40s.

Saturday – bright, sunny day with high pressure building behind the cold front. Temperatures cooler, around 50°F. Overnight lows much cooler in the low-30s.

Sunday – cold start to the NYC Half Marathon in the low-30s but high temperatures will end up in the mid-40s with lots of sun. Overnight lows again around the freezing mark

Monday – increasing clouds with a possibility for some precipitation but chances are too low now to call. Highs in the mid-40s and overnight lows back down in the low-30s again.
