The National Weather Service has issued a detailed forecast for New York City’s boroughs. In Manhattan, skies are expected to be mostly sunny today with temperatures near 46 degrees, increasing to around 50 degrees by midweek as conditions shift to partly sunny and mostly cloudy.

Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island are expected to have similar weather, with gusty winds today and clouds continuing through midweek. Forecasts indicate periods of rain with occasional intervals of sunshine, and high temperatures staying near 50 degrees, with only small differences between boroughs. Nighttime temperatures are expected to remain cool as winter approaches.

The city is not expected to see severe weather, but Gale Warnings are in effect for nearby coastal waters, including Long Island Sound east of New Haven to the mouth of the Connecticut River, New York Harbor, and the ocean waters from Moriches Inlet to Montauk Point out to 20 nautical miles, according to the Hazardous Weather Outlook.

Inland areas are expected to have a calm week, while Gale Warnings remain in effect for coastal waters, signaling rough conditions for sailors. The Hazardous Weather Outlook notes that spotter activation is not expected at this time, so those on land are not at risk, though boaters should continue to monitor the warnings for safe navigation.
