Today in New York City, the sky stays mostly gray with clouds hanging around. You may notice a little drizzle or a brief light shower at times, but nothing heavy. It’s one of those damp, gloomy early-March days where the clouds just don’t want to leave. Temperatures will be mild for this time of year, but the lack of sunshine will make it feel a bit cool and raw.

Saturday will look and feel pretty similar across the city. Expect a cloudy sky for most of the day, and there could be some patchy fog early in the morning. It won’t rain all day, but the sun will struggle to break through the clouds. If you have outdoor plans, the weather should be manageable during the daytime hours, though it will stay gray.Saturday night into early Sunday morning is when the best chance for rain arrives in New York City. A line of showers is expected to move through overnight, bringing periods of rain while most people are sleeping. By early Sunday morning, the rain should start to move out of the city.

Sunday afternoon will be the turning point for the weekend. Clouds will gradually break, the sky should start to brighten, and temperatures will climb. Highs in New York City could reach the lower-60s, which is quite mild for early March. It may actually feel like the first real taste of spring we’ve had in months.

Don't forget to turn your clocks ahead one hour Saturday night as Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday. Sunset Sunday night will be near 7 p.m.! Looking ahead to early next week, the warming trend continues.

Monday should stay in the 60s around the city, and by Tuesday and Wednesday some nearby areas could even approach the upper-60s or low-70s. Coastal neighborhoods will likely stay a bit cooler because of the chilly ocean, but overall it will feel much more like spring settling into New York City.

Late next week a cold front will approach and knock our temperatures down a bit so enjoy this little spring fling!
