42 / 41 and sunshine. The first mostly sunny day in over a week and 70s for many away from the coast. Same Tuesday and Wed is a matter of timing the arrival of the front / clouds. Showers and light rain possible overnight Wed into Thu. Cooler but drier beyond there and into this coming weekend 13-14-15. Much chillier next week with the potential late winter storm - likely a north and New England focused one. A bit back and forth by the 21st and overall near to above avg to close the month.

Today's EWR: 73 / 48 (+21) NYC: 69 / 50 (+19)

To 75 while the sun was out between noon and 2:00 has since cloudy again and down to 70.

All we needed was some sun for temps to overperform 69 / 56 here 70 in sight, with enough sun tue/wed 80s are possible in NJ away from the coast.

Hope we can get into a bit of sun by noon

You have to go back to Jan 7th - 11th for daily +10 or greater departures which is what we are looking like 3/9 - 3/12 perhaps +15 or better. EWR / NYC split and daily avg : 48 / 32 (40)

Still looking like a relatively drier week but would still think the front wed/thu could trend wetter.

Trough into the east Marc 15/16 - 20th or so, should see moderation / warmer towards the 21st

Showers to the south
