Then it will get warmer each out sunday as youre pushing almost 50 degrees outside. There will be a rain chance that developments late friday going into early saturday morning. Lets start making some sense of everything out there. The temperature trend as far as afternoon high temperatures go, sunday you were 45. We dropped you way down yesterday to an afternoon high of 30 degrees. Today colder still, afternoon high of 28, wednesday an afternoon high 40 degrees, by thursday 45, then 46, 47, almost 50 degrees by sunday. Let me show you why were dealing with the cold air. As of right now its a strong northerly wind giving you an 18 degree reading in monticello, 27 in the city, 25 belmar. Its all because the High Pressure is off to our west. With that cold canadian air over the great lakes it brings in a northerly wind. So its pushing in temperatures like 13 degrees in bangor, maine. That high will eventually push offshore. Once that high goes east of us, now were on the backside of the high pulling in air south or southwest. Youll eventually have temperatures in the upper 30s, low 40s, close to 50 degrees approaching sunday. I think tomorrow youre right around 40 and throw a few more degrees on each and every day.

Youre 45 degrees on thursday, 47 friday, 48 on saturday. Right now its not a washout, but it is looking likely to see some wet weather. Ill let you know if we are going to bump that up. Just know saturday looks to be the wettest time period out there and as far as saturday goes, its the first half as opposed to the second half of saturday to see the wettest chances out there.

Championships are won by teams who love one another, who enjoy and respect one another and play for and support one another. I can tell you right now it has become the source of drive for me is that when our players, whether theyre in their career, after their career, when they come back to me and they say coach, i love you. They follow that up by saying theyve become better men, better husbands, better of their experience having been a new york giant. Having played for tom coughlin.
