New York City kicked off the workweek under clear skies Monday morning, March 9, 2026, with temperatures hovering near 54°F (12°C). It is shaping up to be a bright, unseasonably mild day, with afternoon highs around 66°F and a light southwest breeze carrying that springlike feel through the day.
Morning Fog Along the Coast
Out over the water, it is a different story. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for the eastern ocean waters, the eastern Long Island Sound and adjacent bays until 8 a.m. EDT Monday, March 9, 2026. Mariners and ferry riders can expect visibility to drop below a mile at times. Shoreline neighborhoods may also wake up to pockets of low clouds and murky visibility during the morning commute. For the latest timing, marine specifics and any updates, check the National Weather Service.
Sunny Start, Wet and Colder Midweek
The sunshine should stick around through Tuesday, with another mild one on tap. Expect a high near 68°F on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, keeping the early March weather firmly in “feels like April” territory for one more day.
Things start to turn by midweek as a strong frontal system approaches. Rain is likely to ramp up Wednesday night, March 11, and carry into Thursday morning, March 12. As colder air pushes in behind the front, some of that precipitation could flip to wet snow. Temperatures will fall through the 40s and into the 30s by Thursday night, so any late-week outdoor plans should be ready for a noticeably colder, blustery stretch.
