The city of New York braces for a wet and windy end to the week as forecasts predict showers and possible thunderstorms across the boroughs. Temperatures are expected to drop this evening, with Manhattan seeing a high near 44 degrees and north winds gusting up to 24 mph, according to the National Weather Service. Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island are also set to experience similar conditions with slight variations in temperature and wind speeds.
Friday’s outlook suggests a 60 percent chance of showers across the boroughs, as informed by the respective detailed forecasts for Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. The weekend, however, is forecasted to bring partly sunny to mostly sunny weather, providing some respite from the rain. Temperatures are set to gradually increase, with a high near 53 on Sunday across most boroughs.
A coastal flood advisory is also in effect for parts of the region. "Coastal Flood Advisory in effect from 1 PM to 5 PM EST this afternoon," stated the National Weather Service, signaling that areas like southern Fairfield and southern Westchester in New York are likely to experience coastal flooding. Additional advisories are in place for southeast New York, including Long Island, where flooding is expected from 11 AM this morning to 5 PM EST. The complete hazardous weather outlook can be found at the National Weather Service's advisory page.
While no further hazardous weather is expected that would meet the National Weather Service warning criteria for the following days, residents are still advised to stay informed about the weather outlook. According to the hazardous weather outlook, "No hazardous weather is expected at this time that would meet NWS warning criteria." The weekend is set to see isolated gale-force winds on ocean waters, particularly Saturday into Sunday. New Yorkers should prepare to navigate the impending showers while keeping a close eye on tidal surges near coastal areas.
