For the first night this year there is movement on radar in the NY metro area, and with a surprisingly moderate level of reflectivity. The velocity image shows movement at a rapid clip of perhaps 50-60 knots in a northwest direction. And while this might ordinarily favor flyover, there is a stormy weather pattern rapidly approaching from the west in the next hour so that could bring our little feathered friends down for a visit. While not a firm prediction, if the weather is decent tomorrow, it might pay to check out your local birding patch for early migrants.
