New Yorkers can expect a relatively steady week of spring weather, featuring occasional showers across several boroughs and mild, seasonal temperatures. The National Weather Service reports today in Manhattan, there is a 40 percent chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms with a high near 83 degrees.

Neighboring Brooklyn is seeing similar conditions, with a slightly earlier window for potential rain. According to the detailed forecast for Brooklyn, NY, skies will turn mostly sunny by the afternoon, with a high near 82 degrees expected today. The same pattern applies to Queens, where the high will be a bit cooler at 80 degrees, and thunderstorms are likely between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m., according to the National Weather Service.

The Bronx is forecast to see a high of 83 degrees, with rain probabilities similar to those in Manhattan. On Staten Island, the National Weather Service predicts a partly sunny day with scattered showers and a high around 82 degrees. Across the boroughs, conditions are expected to remain generally stable throughout the day, with partly cloudy skies overnight and temperatures dipping into the low 60s.

Looking ahead, Sunday through Tuesday is expected to bring mostly clear, sunny weather with no precipitation and highs in the low to mid-70s. A shift is forecast for the latter part of the week, as showers are likely to begin Wednesday afternoon across all boroughs.
