<\/p>\nSpring officially arrives today in New York City with the vernal equinox at exactly 10:46 a.m., and while it may not feel like it right away, Friday’s weather does deliver a clear shift in the air.<\/p>\n
Early on, temperatures hover around 40 degrees in NYC, with colder readings in the 30s and even 20s across the Tri-State Area suburbs. It’s a chilly start, but not totally unexpected for the first day of spring.<\/p>\n
By Friday afternoon, conditions improve noticeably. Milder air moves in, winds pick up a bit, and temperatures climb into the mid to upper 50s.<\/p>\n

Friday forecast for rain<\/p>\n
It’s the kind of day that offers a preview of April, even if clouds increase and a few late showers develop before sunset. But keep an umbrella nearby, especially heading into the evening.<\/p>\n
Showers continue at times tonight as a system pushes through, but it won’t linger long enough to spoil the weekend. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Warmer weekend<\/p>\n
Saturday looks like the brighter of the two days, with mostly sunny skies and mild temperatures once again reaching the mid to upper 50s. It’s a solid day to get outside and enjoy that early\u2011spring feel.<\/p>\n
Sunday stays mild as well, with highs climbing into the low 60s. Clouds increase later in the day, and a few showers are possible late, but much of the day remains usable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Overall, it’s a gradual and welcome transition into spring \u2014 not a dramatic flip, but a steady warmup that sets the tone for the days ahead.<\/p>\n
