New York City Weather, This Weekend
Today will be calm and mild with 50 degree weather and light winds, but fasten your seatbelts for Saturday.
Although starting with a high in the upper 40s, rain driven by high winds with gusts as high as 40 mph possible may turn to snow as temperatures drop through the day.
While Sunday will be sunny, it’ll still be windy with a high only in the mid-30s. But patience will be rewarded as, next week, multiple days return 60 degree weather across the city.

Before the Door Closed
The May 14 RIOC board meeting began with public concern over the steam plant and ended with two votes that revealed more than any report could. Some meetings announce themselves by what is said. This one announced itself by what the room permitted to move and what it stopped before it could breathe.
