Cold weather to start the week around NYC. Tracking our next chance of thunderstorms

The weather is all over the place this week around the greater New York City area. The calendar says March, but it sure feels like January.

The mercury struggled to rise again Monday, as we fond ourselves below normal -- and by nearly 10 degrees, at that. The good news was there was plenty of sunshine for all, so in addition to the heavy coat, many could have worn shades.

The overnight hours will be cold again, just not quite as cold as Sunday night. Expect temperatures to fall to around freezing, with 20s elsewhere.

Back in the 50s, but tracking some thunderstorms

We're calling Tuesday our "Pick of the Week," as we alternate between sun and clouds, and temperatures make a run for 50 degrees. Enjoy!

As for Wednesday, it will be a First Alert Weather Day, with heavy rain and strong winds expected. Showers will develop in the morning, giving way to pockets of heavy rain, gusty winds and the risk of severe thunderstorms.
