New York City will welcome the official start of spring with another warm weekend, but meteorologists say the balmier conditions won\u2019t last very long.<\/p>\n
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will start climbing into the 50s Friday, just in time for the spring equinox, and will reach the 60s on Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n
NWS said this \u201cwarming trend\u201d<\/a> follows days of below-average chills this week, including real-feel temperatures in the 20s and 30s<\/a>.<\/p>\n Agency meteorologist James Connolly said temperatures this time of year normally hover around 50 degrees.<\/p>\n But colder air will return on Monday and Tuesday, with highs in the mid-to-upper 40s, Connolly said.<\/p>\n As for precipitation, most of the weekend will be dry after a frontal system comes through Friday night into early Saturday morning.<\/p>\n \u201cWe’re expecting up to a quarter inch of rain,\u201d Connolly said. \u201cNot a lot, but enough to wet the ground and produce a little moisture out there.\u201d<\/p>\n Sunday will bring low chances of showers through the evening, when another frontal system is expected to arrive, according to the forecast.<\/p>\n More wet weather is possible on Monday morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York City will welcome the official start of spring with another warm weekend, but meteorologists say the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":168259,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-168258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168258"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168258\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
