WCBS reports: Spring officially arrived at 7:44 a.m. Friday morning…….then you’ll go outside and question the calendar.

A cold front that moved into the area late Wednesday night will take one more shot at us to end the work week.

In some areas of New York City and parts north, Spring is making its presence felt with snow of all things. Parts of New Jersey are seeing snow as well.

“Yeah, believe it or not, some snow is falling in parts of the area…it’s still warm enough that nothing will stick,” says CBS 2 HD Meteorologist John Elliot.

The same system that took us from the 60s one day down to the 40s the next will force temperatures down into the 30s in New York City through the Friday commute. The temperatures will be up to 10 degrees colder in points north and west.

“Temperatures for spring’s arrival will run about 5 degrees below normal” said CBS 2 HD meteorologist Mike Latella.

However, Latella was quick to point out that the mini-blast will be short-lived.

“The good news is temperatures will warm into the 50s with lots of sunshine for the first weekend of spring,” Latella said.

It will turn a bit cooler in heading into next week. Look for highs only in the upper 40s on Monday.

The good news is much of next week will be dry. Highs Tuesday will return to seasonable levels, reaching the low 50s. On Wednesday expect mid 50s with extra clouds.

“Our next chance of rain isn’t until next Thursday, but temperatures by then will be heading up to near 60 degrees,” Latella said.
