New Yorkers might want to keep their jackets handy and prepare for possible showers as they step into the latter part of October, according to various local forecasts. A glance across boroughs shows quite the consistent weather pattern, as Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island all report partly sunny skies today with highs hovering around the upper 50s.
Stepping into Monday, all five boroughs can expect sunny skies with temperatures sitting comfortably in the mid-50s. However, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook that remains in effect from Sunday night through Monday morning, alerting residents of potentially hazardous conditions. Spotter activation, currently, is not expected.
By Tuesday, there's a 20 to 30 percent chance of showers across the board, as per forecasts, with Northeast winds ranging between 10 to 15 mph adding a little extra chill to the air. Come Wednesday, though a possibility of scattered showers persists before 2 pm, conditions seem to clear up revealing partly sunny skies and high temperatures again near 57 degrees.
Looking ahead, Thursday promises a 50 to 60 percent chance of rain across New York City, necessitating umbrellas and raincoats for those poised to venture outdoors. Showers are likely to continue into the evening, with Thursday night lows approaching the mid-40s. Despite the onset of showers cloaking the city, no hazardous weather is expected that would meet NWS warning criteria during this period. The rest of the week steadily maintains a pattern of partial showers and partly sunny days until conditions perk up on Saturday with more sunlight and highs still nestled in the upper 50s.
New Yorkers looking to plan their week can expect similar weather across the entire city, a take that suggests the embrace of sporadic autumn showers while juggling warmth in layers.
