NYC Weekend Weather – Mar 5, 2021

We have a cool start to most of the weekend with gradual warming trend taking place as high temperatures move up through the upper-30s into the low-40s. High pressure will be dominating sensible weather with lots of sun and calm conditions. This high remains in control until late next week, when we have our next chance at rain. The center of the high will gradually shift east during this time, inducing warm, southerly/southwesterly return flow next week, continuing the warm up to the point that temperatures could reach near 60ºF by mid-week.

Rest of today – windy with sunny skies and highs in the mid-30s. Overnight lows in the upper-20s.

Weather Prediction Center surface forecast for 7PM Saturday. High pressure is set to build to our west and move in.

Saturday – partly sunny with high temperatures reaching the upper-30s. Overnight lows again in the upper-20s.

Sunday – very similar to Saturday but with sunnier skies and high temperatures in the upper-30s and overnight lows in the upper-20s.

GFS model 850 mb temperature, height and winds for 10PM next Thursday. This shows a remarkable warming trend underway at this level of the atmosphere, which serves as a good proxy for surface temperatures.

Monday warmer with high temperatures in the low-mid 40s under sunny skies. Overnight lows in the low-30s.
