NYC braces for a fleeting spring tease this weekend
New York City is set for a brief but noticeable warm-up this weekend. After days of bitter cold, temperatures will climb into the 50s and 60s. The change follows a stretch where real-feel readings hovered in the 20s and 30s.
The warming trend begins on Friday, March 20, with highs reaching the 50s. This marks a shift from the recent chill, as normal temperatures for this time of year sit around 50 degrees.
Over the weekend, the city will see even milder conditions. Saturday, March 21, and Sunday, March 22, will bring highs in the 60s, according to the National Weather Service. The warmth will be short-lived, however. By Monday, March 23, and Tuesday, March 24, colder air returns, pushing highs back into the mid-to-upper 40s.
The weekend's spike in temperatures offers a temporary break from the cold. Residents can expect a return to cooler, more typical late-March conditions by the start of next week. The National Weather Service confirms the pattern after a week of below-average chills.
