Yeah I remember how miserable it was when I was a kid and played baseball in April. A tough sport to play in cold weather, and as you said tough for the people in the stands watching. 

Today is not bad at all, no wind and bright and sunny this afternoon!

So glad my kids are older and out of sports now.  I hated the first 6 weeks of baseball/softball season.  Nice days always seemed to happen on a non game/practice day, haha.

If you're a Mets fan today was the perfect day for the home opener, the sun came out right around 2 pm and it's blindingly bright right now and no wind.

72 and sunny no winds, this is the warmest it's been here since last Saturday when it was 83 here.

Perfect spring day (maybe a little more sun) took my gfs dog for a run in Hempstead Lake Park.

Beautiful 70 degrees today. Chillier weather for the near future, even Sunday now looks like only the 50s

Tomorrow will be unseasonably cool with some showers or periods fo rain. It will turn somewhat milder on Sunday with additional showers and thundershowers possible. Highs will likely reach the upper 50s in New York City and middle 60s in Philadelphia.

It will turn cooler on Saturday and then milder again on Sunday. Showers are possible during the weekend. Much of next week could feature below normal temperatures.

Two big stories continue to dominate the U.S. weather this week. First, a major to historic rainfall event is affecting parts of the Tennessee Valley. Excessive rainfall is occurring in parts of Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee. Second, unseasonable heat covers parts of the Southeast. Tampa could experience its earlest four-day heatwave on record during April 2-5. The existing record is April 26-29, 1991.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +0.9°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.1°C for the week centered around March 19. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.00°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.18°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely continue into at least late spring.

Early indications are that summer 2025 will be warmer than normal in the New York City and Philadelphia areas. The potential exists for a much warmer than normal summer (more than 1° above normal).

The SOI was +26.82 yesterday.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.043 today.

This spring is way better than the previous 4.  My yard is almost fully greened up.  I had to cut it today.
