I have a very special guest post today coming from a friend who lives all the way in New York City! She and her friend have written up a nice forecast over there highlighting what one can expect should you find yourself in that unique part of the world. 😉 Our local Salem forecast is tagged along at the bottom. ENJOY!!!!

Forecast for New York City

Saturday – a wonderful day, use best you can. Sunday…it’s for the ducks 

Cold front will start rolling into NYC on Saturday around 4am and will calm the windy conditions seen on Friday. Clear skies with a temperature in the high fifties to low 60’s. Winds ranging from 12-25 MPH. Nice day that Saturday  We recommend using it to get outside and catching a glimpse of the rare and exotic green parrots atop the Greenwood Cemetery Arch.

If you happen to forget your sunscreen on Saturday and end up getting a ring-tail lemur sunburn on your ankles, don’t fret, because Sunday’s weather will be keeping you inside. Early Sunday morning, starting at 2am, nice conditions will start to diminish, clouds will be low, winds will be light. Heavy rain will commence at 8am with winds hitting full tilt at 11am. Wind gusts will pick up to 40 MPH. As Sunday progresses, clouds will thicken like a split-pea soup (which apparently no establishment in NYC carries despite our repeated pleas) This will cause poor visibility and rain with the temperature in the low 50’s. Fog is not out of the question folks. Rainy conditions and visibility will improve during the evening, but wind will remain, so no skirts. 

Monday the skies will be back to their old ways- a cool 55, partly cloudy, no winds. The perfect start to a week locked inside working. Looking ahead, Tuesday will be your last chance before rain picks up mid-week with the sun coming back to shine on all your beautiful, bountiful Easter eggs. 

Salem Area Forecast

Looks like NYC has a similar weather forecast to us in that today is going to be a beautiful day with highs in mid 60s and lots of sunshine.

Sunday starts off nice; however, we also make a switch to weather fit only for ducks 😉 as things go downhill in the afternoon with a very potent cold front moving in. Winds will be strong at times gusting up to 35mph and rain will be quite heavy at times. If you have outdoor plans I would aim to have them done by 1 or 2PM on Sunday with rain moving in by 4PM at the latest.

Temps drop dramatically Sunday evening with this powerful cold front. Snow levels Monday morning will be down to 1000′. Lots of snow up in the Cascades. I’m thinking like 6 – 10 new inches with this storm. Very poor driving conditions up there Sunday night through Monday with gusty winds blowing that heavy snow around a bit. Back here in the valley we will be left with a few scattered showers on Monday before drying out for much of next week with highs returning to the 60s Tue – Thu or even next Friday.

Whether you are in the Big Apple or the Cherry City 😉 enjoy the nice sunny weather while it lasts and a special thanks to my friend and her roommate for writing up their gust post!
