What We're About

Welcome to the New York City Metro Weather Blog. I am Danny and I am 22 years old. Here, you will find daily forecasts for the NYC/LI, NJ, PA, and CT areas. I will post model images when it's pertinent. I will sometimes delve into the long-range, so if you something coming up, you can get an idea of what the weather will be like. I will post historical weather events from time to time that have affected my home of Long Island. Sometimes, I will go on a rant. But you can always count on the New York City Metro Weather Blog!

On This Day in Weather History (April 6)

On April 6, 1988, downtown Chicago reported extremely strong winds that blew out 97 windows from the Sears Tower. A local tree, which was the oldest in the state (over 700 years old), was also destroyed. Wind speeds were clocked at 58 mph at O'Hare, 75 mph at the lakefront, and 47 mph in Rockford.
