element. and coming up in sports, a heartbreaker and try to roll i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine, i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for the world's best mushers hit the trail today. the ceremony starts with the iditarod in anchorage. that's where the mushers and dogs celebrated before the start the nearly 1000-mile race across alaska there in anchorage, and while you may think snow is not hard to come by in alaska, this year's warm winter, in fact, had officials trucking in snow from other areas for yesterday's festival. >> had to bring in the snow making machines. >> that's a crazy winter if alaska is in in need of snow. city, and we did the mushing, when we did the mushing there, the guy who took us on the mushing, his name was racer and he was going to this event and there was this concern over was there going to be enough snow, and sure enough, they had to make it, as if it were a ski resort or something. >> all i saw was the dogs, they're so cute. >> you're such a dog person. >> i know, i am. it's over the top. i realize that. >> well, they cannot do any racing around here. in fact, while we have a snow shower or two off to the west, it's all sun and warmth from here on out. >> thank you, amy. >> at least this week. >> temperatures 33 degrees. i don't think we get this cold for about a week. so temperatures are on the rise, and really we're looking at sunshine through the rest of the afternoon. once we can get this system out of here, we'll start to warm up nicely, and skies will brighten up all across the area. if you're lucky enough to be further to the north and east, you're looking over the river manhattan. we have had just beautiful sunrise vantage points from across the area. we'll continue to see the sun strengthen and the temperatures go up. right now, though, it is freezing in spot, and as the flurries fly, we're not expecting it to accumulate or amount to much. if you see a few few flakes, no worries, this is just a passing snow shower through the afternoon. winds are very very light out of the north, and almost calm. we'll go to low to mid-40s going for a high of 46. we could actually hit 70 degrees this week. the last time central park had a 70-degree day. you'll remember it. christmas eve, where we had 72. so we don't have to go back to late summer or fall to get that number. we just go back to december because our temperatures have been above average most of the winter here. temperatures are going above the freezing point. commack up to 33. 34 nor roslyn. down the shower, temperatures at least 5 degrees warmer than they were yesterday at the same time. the warmer, more mild air mass will start to move in from the today. temperatures still cold up in monticello. you factor in the winds and it feels like 20 degrees. there is a bit of a wind that takes the temperatures down. nothing like the windchill we have had the last couple of days. the main feature is how quickly did the skies recover. on the accu track, we have the clouds around. as we isolate the radar, we get only the snow showers. a little flurry here and there. over union, we have had a brief snow shower. if you see any snowfall, tweet us out. hash tag abc7ny, let us know what's happening in the skies. we don't expect this to last. 8:00, 9:00, should wrap up and sunshine through the afternoon. beautiful sunset expected tonight as well. we start off monday, not just with sunshine but also temperatures near 60 degrees. it just gets warmer. tuesday we're in the 60s. wednesday, 70s on the forecast. really looks good by thursday. could be tracking rain in the air. it's all because of the jet stream pulling far to the north. possible that we could be 30 degrees above our average high, and potentially going down the record books with warmth. on march 13th, after we spring forward, i think about 7:00 at night. we're just about there making the change with the daylight hours. 57 degrees on monday afternoon. mainly sunny skies and here's your accuweather 7-day forecast. feels like april by tuesday, wednesday is the record warmth day. thursday we'll be tracking showers and the potential for rain across the area, friday and saturday, temperatures are above average in the 50s. so not much of a weather worry around this week, except for, can we make history. on wednesday afternoon, with the warmth. i think it's quite possible. other than that, you can check out the afternoon or evening low temperatures. they're on the bottom half of the screen, not afternoon, but evening. they're all above freezing. 36 tonight, and from there on, enjoy. >> i would say it's not time to put the winter coat away completely. but you won't need it this week. >> most of the time, you can turn off the heat and save money there, too. >> i like that plan. >> we'll get to the warm months for amy's air-conditioning which she likes to brag about in the coming months. >> let's hold

look at the weather, and a very nice week ahead. >> yes, rob, toni, wednesday is going to be the warmest day of the week. it starts right here right now. 33 degrees puts us above freezing and from here on out, we are above that cold chill, and even though we have some fast flurries this morning, they don't last long. the sun is up. sunrise at 6:22, and we'll start the afternoon. the sun is going to kind of push these clouds out of the way. dry out the atmosphere, and that system that's producing some light snow just shoved off to the east, all but a memory by the afternoon. so even though we still have some below freezing temperatures to the northwest, all of this goes into we're looking for a nice end to the weekend. a sunny, sunday afternoon, if you will, and right now on the radar and satellite combined, there are clouds lingering, upper hudson valley, you've got sunshine there, and we'll see picture, and we end up with these snow showers, isolated here on radar. to be moving off to the south and the east. and we'll be done with all of that. so hempstead, you could be starting to see a flurry or two. not going to last long. that's the weakness parking -- part, the edge there. light flurries not a big deal. it doesn't stick. all is week, it's spring fever, as the jet stream drives to the north, and we get into the 60s and 70s. i'll tell you how warm we go, and potentially which day we could hit that record that's in jeopardy. but for the rest of this day, plan for temperatures going into the mid-40s. i'll have the accuweather 7-day in a few minutes. rob.

this is some video that we have of this accident around 9:30 last night, around the intersection of 26th street and jfk boulevard in north bergen. a car jumped the curb, and crashed into a group. again, we are told of three boys walking home from a party, that's what their friends tell us. there was a large police presence here last night. we spoke to people coming to the crash site this

people that dance with him, they're going to pay a tribute to him later on. >> reporter: you're seeing a live look at some of the debris still left from this car jumping the curb. it's unclear, police

accuweather 7-day forecast. places close by, like philly could see two or ta three days of 70 degrees. that's how dramatic, the gesturing is going to be to the north, and allowing the warm air to come up. we get starts just above freezing but say good-bye to 32 degrees for a bit. we're at 33 and on the rise through the afternoon. should not be below this number all week long. over the park right now, clouds are trying to give way to the blue skies and make for a beautiful afternoon. current readings are just above freezing with a light wind we'll get into the 40s by 10:00 a.m. we'll cruise
