New York City's borough-specific forecast shows a pattern of sunny days followed by midweek rainfall. In Manhattan, temperatures will remain in the mid-30s today, with wind chill values making it feel between 10 and 20 degrees. Northwest winds are expected to persist at 13 to 16 mph, according to the National Weather Service.

Brooklyn and the Bronx are expected to have similar temperatures and wind chills today, with slight variations in nighttime conditions. Brooklyn is forecasted to have mostly clear skies tonight with lows around 23 degrees, while the Bronx will see partly cloudy skies with temperatures dropping to approximately 21 degrees. As reported by the National Weather Service, Queens and Staten Island are also expected to have a clear start to the week, with Queens experiencing wind gusts of up to 26 mph.

The latter half of the week is expected to bring significant changes, with all boroughs, including Queens, forecasted to receive substantial rainfall starting Wednesday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
