Weather forecasts for 10027

The last one is really interesting when there's a big snowstorm or any other major event in the forecast, since the NWS forecasters talk about their uncertainty and the way the models have been behaving. It helps put incorrect forecasts in perspective, and the jargon is entertaining.

For those who really want a comprehensive forecast, Weather Underground or the National Weather Service are good because they include both the digital forecast (exact temperatures) and the more scientific forecast descriptions with temperature ranges, not to mention the discussion described above.

For long-range forecasts, Weather.com predicts up to 10 days out, and Accuweather.com predicts up to 15 days out. They are both almost never correct.
