New Yorkers can look forward to a week of variable weather according to the latest forecast. Starting off with mostly sunny skies and high temperatures reaching the upper 60s to low 70s across the five boroughs, the city will experience shifts in weather conditions including the likelihood of showers at the start of the work week, as detailed by the National Weather Service.

The Manhattan area is seeing northwest winds at 15 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph, leading to a pleasant day with temperatures peaking at 69 degrees. However, going into Monday, residents should expect mostly cloudy skies with temperatures dropping slightly to a high near 59, before potential showers hit late at night.

According to the Hazardous Weather Outlook, while rain is anticipated, no severe weather meeting the National Weather Service’s warning criteria is expected in the area at this time.

Across the boroughs, temperatures throughout the week are expected to oscillate, with a consistent pattern of partly sunny and partly cloudy skies, and intermittent chances of showers, particularly on Friday and Saturday with a 40 percent chance indicated for all, but Staten Island which forecasts a slightly hotter week compared to its neighbors.
