AI tools can generate climate visualizations quickly through conversational prompts, enabling new temperature graphics like thermal helix animations.
Forecasters at NBC 4 New York say temperatures will climb steadily through the back half of this week. By the weekend, we're looking at highs in the upper 50s. That alone feels like a small miracle after the 2026 blizzard, weeks of freezing temperatures and so much lingering snow.
