The skies over New York City are slated to open up today with an 80% chance of precipitation, bringing rain to every borough, according to multiple reports from the National Weather Service. Manhattan should expect rain mainly after 10am with a high near 48, as per the forecast. Similar conditions are predicted for Brooklyn, with a slightly higher temperature around 49 degrees, while Queens can anticipate a top temperature near 50 degrees. The Bronx will see similar weather, with a high near 47, and Staten Island is forecast to hit a high near 49 as well.
Tonight, residents should prepare for the rain to steadily continue before dissipating around 7pm. Evening temperatures are expected to drop to the mid-30s across the boroughs, with the city's western winds reaching as high as 23 mph in some areas. As we move into Monday, a generous serving of sunshine will emerge with highs in the low-to-mid 40s, according to detailed forecasts for Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, the weather will take a turn yet again. All boroughs are set to experience a mix of rain and snow in the early hours, which will turn to rain after 10 am as temperatures hover in the mid-40s. The chance of precipitation is pegged at 100%. However, little to no snow accumulation is expected. By Tuesday night, chances of rain drop to 30% before skies start to clear.
Midweek forecasts call for sunnier skies, with Wednesday expected to be sunny across New York City, and highs near 40 degrees. Nighttime will usher in partly cloudy conditions with temperatures dropping back into the low 30s. By Thursday, forecasts indicate partly sunny weather, and the rest of the week appears likely to continue the trend with mostly sunny skies and highs creeping into the lower 40s. However, Friday night does introduce a 50% chance of snow, which could lead into a weekend mixed with rain and snow, according to the Hazardous Weather Outlook by the National Weather Service.
Despite the varied weather conditions throughout the week, no hazardous weather is expected that would meet the National Weather Service's warning criteria. Spotters are not anticipated to need to activate at this time. For maritime regions, this also stands true with no hazardous weather expected that would meet warning criteria on the coastal waters. New Yorkers can refer to the latest NWS forecasts for updates on weather not reaching these warning thresholds.
