Residents across New York City are preparing for a period of unsettled weather as the National Weather Service forecasts thunderstorms and showers moving into the week. In Manhattan, daytime highs near 73 degrees with sunny skies will give way to showers and possible thunderstorms after 2 a.m., accompanied by wind gusts up to 29 mph and rainfall of up to half an inch.
Similar conditions are expected in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, with slight variations in temperature and wind speed. Staten Island and Queens may experience stronger gusts reaching 33 mph, while the Bronx and Manhattan could see gusts between 28 and 30 mph. All boroughs are expected to receive significant rainfall that could cause travel disruptions, particularly during Monday morning commutes.
Monday will bring continued showers and thunderstorms, especially in the morning, with temperatures in the low 60s. Conditions are expected to improve by Monday night as skies begin to clear, leading to a sunny Tuesday with highs in the mid to upper 60s. However, there is a 50 percent chance of showers returning by Tuesday night.
The National Weather Service’s Hazardous Weather Outlook for the New York area notes the potential for isolated strong wind gusts and minor urban flooding due to a fast-moving frontal system affecting southern Connecticut, northeast New Jersey, and southeast New York. Gale-force gusts are also possible near the entrance to New York Harbor early this evening.
No additional hazardous weather is expected after Monday, but residents and commuters are advised to monitor updates as conditions may change.
