Weather conditions slowly improve today with temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s. It stays dry and mild through tomorrow afternoon. A frontal system passes North of the borough on Tuesday bringing increasing clouds and a chance of a stray sprinkle. There's a better chance of spot showers in the Hudson Valley and Connecticut Tuesday evening.

Behind the front, a surge of warm air arrives on Wednesday with highs in the upper 70s to near 80 degrees. Temperatures fall to the upper 60s on Thursday, ahead of a strong cold front on Friday. Showers and gusty thunderstorms are possible on Friday afternoon. It's still too soon to tell the exact timing, totals and intensity of this storm. However, there is a growing confidence that a dramatic drop in the temperatures arrives this weekend behind the front with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s. Stay tuned for updates.
