The good news... NYC residents are experiencing the warmest temperatures in over 3 months.

The bad news is that it will not last and mother nature will probably complicate this weekend weather,

This is a high temperature not seen since Christmas Day. The mercury spike won't last, though, so get out NOW!!!
