New York Feeling Like Spring, for Now: Tri-State Weekend Forecast<\/h1>\n

Temperatures Soaring Out of the Deep Freeze<\/h2>\n

Temperatures have been on a steady climb out of the deep freeze this week, from sub-freezing to the upper 50s. You\u2019ll want to take advantage of these temperatures while they last, because these spring breaks don\u2019t stick around terribly long this time of year. But we still have a couple more mild days ahead before temperatures drop back down in a major way this weekend.<\/p>\n

A Cold Winter Comes to an End<\/h2>\n

This winter has been a cold one. It\u2019s by no means record-breaking cold, but the start of 2025 has been the coldest in a decade \u2014 since 2015. Going back to the beginning of winter, the season has delivered below-average temperatures throughout; something we have not experienced since the winter of 2013-2014.<\/p>\n

A Warm Note to Finish the Month<\/h2>\n

But for all the cold weather we\u2019ve had, we\u2019ll finish out February on a warm note, with temperatures running 5 to 10 degrees above average. With highs getting into the upper 40s and 50s, it\u2019ll feel a lot more like mid-March.<\/p>\n

A Spike in Temperatures this Weekend, Followed by a Dip<\/h2>\n

Temperatures soar even higher this weekend, climbing into the upper 50s in the city, while spots further south jump into the 60s. But this spike in temperatures is coming ahead of a cold front. This front will spark a few showers north of the city. It won\u2019t bring much in terms of accumulation, but it will kick up some gusty winds. This will start as a warm wind out of the southwest, switching to a much chillier northwest wind at night.<\/p>\n

A Big Temperature Drop Ahead<\/h2>\n

These winds will usher in a big temperature drop as we head into Sunday. Overnights are back below freezing and we\u2019ll be waking up to wind chills in the teens and single digits once again. The daytime high will be over 20 degrees colder than Saturday, with feels like temperatures staying in the 20s. You may only need a light jacket on Saturday, but the parkas are back by Sunday.<\/p>\n

Back to the 50s by Mid-Week<\/h2>\n

Thankfully, this dose of cold air will only last a couple of days before we rebound back to the 50s by the middle of next week.<\/p>\n

How Long until the Start of Spring?<\/h2>\n

And with the start of spring just 3 weeks away, it won\u2019t be long before 30-degree highs are nothing more than a distant winter memory.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the cold snap is a reminder that winter is not yet over, it won\u2019t last. We can expect a return to milder temperatures by the middle of next week, marking a welcome end to this cold winter.<\/p>\n
