New York weather continues to keep us on our toes. We’re starting this week with a reminder that winter isn't over just yet. Feel-like temperatures are stuck in the single digits across much of the tri-state area and, yes, there’s more snow in the forecast. A quick burst is expected Tuesday afternoon before turning to rain by evening. Don’t let the flakes fool you, though. While spring may still be a couple weeks away, a warmup is coming.
You may have seen posts on social media celebrating the arrival of 70 degree weather this weekend, but don't break out your flip flops just yet. The actual forecasts are a little more restrained, though positive.
Forecasters at NBC 4 New York say temperatures will climb steadily through the back half of this week. By the weekend, we’re looking at highs in the upper 50s. That alone feels like a small miracle after the 2026 blizzard, weeks of freezing temperatures and so much lingering snow.
AccuWeather is taking things a little further, calling for highs in the upper 60s by Sunday due to a northward bulge in the jet stream bringing springlike warmth up and down the east coast. Other forecasts suggest that Monday and Tuesday could both clear 60 degrees. This is welcome news of course, but this isn’t a full seasonal reset. It’s more like a preview, what we've come to know as "spring one." Spring officially arrives on Friday, March 20, and forecasts can always shift. But after months of brutal cold, even a few 60-degree days feel like a turning point.
We also set our clocks forward on Sunday, which means longer evenings and a golden hour glow at the end of the wintry tunnel. So, New Yorkers, you can tough out the next couple days and then enjoy your first glimpse of spring-like temperatures as soon as the end of this week.
