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

53 / 52 clouds (6th straight day) and some showers / fod around. We'll see how much and for how long we can get breaks and see the sun as warm front moves north and first 60s since Nov (26th or 10th). Finally, sun and spring Mon - Tue with Wed the caveat on timing with the arrival of clouds and associated front. 70s in the warmer areas (first since Oct) and perhaps a stray 80 into S-C-W-NJ with 60s east of there. Currently not looing wet this week but would still watch later Wed and Thu with frontal passage. Overall chillier 3/15 - 3/21 with a few stronger below avg days and the risk of late winter storm between St patty's day and the 18th-19. Moderation towards the arrival of spring.

The last ST sunset saw low clouds linger all day and EWR: 50 / 37 (+4) NYC: 50 / 36 (+3) LGA: 47 / 36 (+1)
