New Yorkers are bracing for a mix of breezy, sunny days followed by a series of potential showers across the boroughs this week. According to the National Weather Service's detailed forecast for Manhattan, NY, today we can expect mostly sunny skies with a high near 47, but winds are predicted to sharply increase, gusting as high as 41 mph.
A similar scenario will unfold across Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island with slight variations in temperature and wind strength, but the constant remains the gusty conditions that seem to aggressively usher in the springtime. Highs will hover in the high 40s to low 50s, according to the detailed forecasts for Brooklyn NY, Queens NY, Bronx NY, and Staten Island NY. The blustery conditions are expected to give way to potential rain showers beginning Thursday afternoon.
The National Weather Service also issued a hazardous weather outlook for the area, including a freeze warning in effect from midnight tonight to 9 AM EDT Wednesday for several counties including New York (Manhattan), Bronx, Richmond (Staten Island), Kings (Brooklyn), and Northern Queens. "Please listen to NOAA Weather Radio or go to weather.gov on the Internet for more information about the following hazards," the warning stated. Residents and visitors alike are urged to take precautions against the cold.
Looking further into the week, the wet conditions look to persistently define the coming days. Friday shows a 70% chance of showers, which rises to 90% during the night. Saturday showers are mainly expected before 8 am, but with a 60% chance occurring throughout the day. As the weekend draws to a close, forecasts suggest conditions will progressively improve, ending with a mostly sunny Monday boasting a high near the mid to upper 60s across all boroughs.
