Brooklyn nights are predicted to be slightly warmer, with lows around 72 degrees.

Over the weekend, both boroughs brace for a 30 percent chance of showers and potential thunderstorms after 5pm on Saturday. Similarly, conditions in Queens and the Bronx are forecasted to be partly sunny with chances of evening rain.

Meanwhile, Staten Island might expect a slightly higher chance of showers and thunderstorms on Sunday, with a 50 percent chance noted in the forecast.
