Don’t cancel plans. We repeat, don’t cancel plans.
New York City is expected to be bombarded with soothing sunshine this weekend, following a period of 11 straight days of cloudy skies.
Saturday’s forecast is a high of 42 degrees and a low of 30 degrees, but completely sunny. Sunday is much the same: sunshine with no signs of overcast skies and a high of 44 degrees.
In fact, the sunshine is expected to last through Wednesday, when the forecast changes to “mostly sunny.”
The upcoming soaking of sunshine is a particularly happy sight given the nearly two straight weeks of cloudy weather, including another rain storm on Friday.
To reemphasize, there is not a travel advisory for the weekend, the city is not under a flood watch, and there is not a foreboding forecast from the National Weather Service that gives an incredibly small chance of a tornado making its way through Manhattan.
To make matters better, Staten Island Chuck the groundhog, also predicted an early spring on Friday.
Enjoy the weekend.

We all need a smiley story. Thank you
🤣 YAY & Happy Groundhog Day!! Early spring to come (one hopes) 🌞🌞🌞
Can you please post a photo of said supposed sun, so one can identify the object in the sky upon appearance? It’s been too long to expect one to recall what it looks like! Thank you! 🙂
Ha ha – Nicely done! Plus Groundhog Day and S.I. chuck – much needed relief.

What is this “sun” you speak of?
Love this! Fun and funny and so true!
What a witty weather report. This Upper Westsider is here in Florida pining for some of the good old, exhaust-infused clouds of precipitation!
Just moved to the UWS 2 years ago and LOVE it here for so many reasons. Love the RAG, fave publication, thank you for the delightful good humor. Go, sun!
Great hilarious writing. Love it.
