Im surprised to hear that. Straight ahead. It is warm and sunny here. We like it. But in colorado, yeah, a little different. Dealing with a lot of snow right in the middle of april. I want to unsee that. No april showers in they are getting slammed with snow, in fact, theyre supposed to get so much snow in denver that its likely to top the monthly norm for the city. Now, travel conditions pretty treacherous in the area. More than half of all the flights out of Denver International airport have been canceled. Some places in colorado have already seen almost a foot and a half of snow. April. But we do know one person whos warm and toasty. Here in new york city. This is really happening. I went outside, talked to himself muppet bernie. The primary. He heard that Bernie Sanders will be here at 9 30 live for an interview onset. Obviously very excited. Random passers by. Can i get a picture, she what does he call himself, muppet bernie . Yes. I took a picture. Any doubt that the political season has arrived in new york, there is your proof. Good morning from muppet bernie right outside our studios. We had to share this. Were sitting here at the window, looking at him outside. I wonder if he can hear us. I dont know. Anyway, whats going on. Its beautiful outside. Its beautiful. Its absolutely gorgeous. Yelled was so nice. We had 68 degrees, and more of the same today. I would say even better. Even better. Nice. A perfect 10. A perfect 10, if you will. Temperatures a few degrees warmer and skies just as sunny and bright. Lots of blue showing up on our live cameras across the area. In fact, one of my favorites here, the empire state building, looking down at one world trade. Its almost like a postcard. Its so perfect out there. Hard to even search for clouds across the northeast because we have High Pressure in control, allowing for beautiful skies and high temperatures that will maybe get as much as 15 to 20 degrees warmer than we have right now on the map. And were already at 53 this morning. Feels nice outside. Winds are calm. Lows this morning started at the Freezing Point for northwest and central new jersey. So fragile plants last night. There was a frost warning. Hopefully you turned out okay today. But i think over the next couple of nights, we have no worries about temperatures dropping into the 30s because were going to have real mild nights following a temperature climb on the day even tomorrow. So we go back to the planning forecast here, and you can see it wont take long for us to get into the upper 60s. I think even by one, 2 00, we are pushing the numbers we had yesterday afternoon and forecasting a high of 72. The radar and satellite picture. Its walltowall sunshine. Not just for us in the tristate but the eastern sea board is looking good. We saw the snow coming from denver. Place and counting and this weather maker is actually pushing just to the north and trailing into the cold front pushing to the south, creating flooding rains there. What it leaves behind really is just this huge High Pressure system, and a lot of nice weather for the east, and this pattern is not going to be changing up anytime soon. So not only will we have above average temperatures, but also dry conditions for the next several days. Its a dry spell with these temperatures as much as 15 degrees above average. I mentioned that its cooler by the coast, we have another sea breeze. Beware of that. Heading down the shore, hitting the board walks, Something Like that. Future cast taking us to near 80 degrees. We arent the only ones, Williams Port forecasting 80. 81 for philadelphia. Its a nice trend that takes us into the monday afternoon time frame. By tuesday well cool down, and that will be a change up. Even then, well bounce into the 70s before the week is out. 1 05 first pitch. Great day for baseball. While its cooler at the coast, we will see temperatures that push the low 70s for the city and inland. I dont think well have much problem seeing the low to mid 70s across much of the area. By tomorrow, we start in the 50s, so were pushing the upper 70s to near 80 degrees. Thats going to feel nice. The accuweather 7day forecast, the cool down is temporary for tuesday and wednesday. And 60s. Thats still above average and bumpering and bump up into the 70s for thursday. Your accuweather 7day forecast even the overnight lows are mild down the stretch, and that means that planting, looks like its a go, so very very nice. Hopefully you can get out and enjoy. Its going to be beautiful for the second half of the week. Dont worry about us, we always get out and enjoy. And hey, its our friday. Boom. Blow it up. Thats not nice. Youre theyre one of the wall street banks that triggered the financial meltdown Goldman Sachs. That put seven million out of work and millions out of their homes. How does wall street get away with it . Millions in Campaign Contributions and speaking fees. Our economy works for wall street because its rigged by wall street. And thats the problem.

Now, its not the Wizarding World of harry potter, just north carolina, the 9th 9th quidach cup, a mix of rug by, dodge ball and tag.

Were less than a day away from the Boston Marathon, and runners are already preparing. But survivors of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing have made an emotional visit to the finish line, and they were not alone. They brought along special guests, veterans they met while being treated at Walter Reed Medical Center after the bombing in 2013. Some of those Wounded Warriors i hope that the city comes out in force to cheer them on and their hand cycles and on their prosthetics because they deserve so much admiration for what they are capable of doing. Were exciting examples of why we are boston strong and american strong. The 26. 2mile race starts tomorrow at 9 30 00 a. M. And theyre running for so much more than just the exercise and the race but for those we lost three years ago, and for the spirit of that city, so that race will forever have such a added layer of meaning, so beautiful every year. Absolutely. And going back to the finish line just to be there in that place, together, has got to be so imimpactful. Making impactful. Making a statement. Were still here. It is 9 25.
