Directly from NWS:
Believe it or not, today was warmer than yesterday, even though temperatures were at or below the freezing mark (32 degrees or lower).
The warming trend continues into Thursday as a southerly wind develops. Highs on Wednesday will be in the 40s across the entire forecast area and 50s on Thursday. Portions of NYC and northeast NJ may see highs around 60! Records on Thursday don't seem to be in danger as they are in the middle 60s. #NYws #NJwx #CTwx
