New Yorkers can expect rain across the boroughs today, with an 80% chance of precipitation. Highs are forecast to hover around 57 degrees in Manhattan, according to the National Weather Service. Similar conditions are anticipated in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island with slight variations in temperature and wind speed.
Tonight, rain is expected to continue mainly before 1 a.m., and temperatures are to nearly hold steady in the high 50s. South winds ranging from 3 to 10 mph with gusts as high as 20 mph have been forecasted. The chance of precipitation tonight is pegged at 100%, with new rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible, as reported in forecasts for Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx.
For those looking ahead to Thanksgiving Day plans, the weather seems to promise a reprieve from the damp conditions. Skies are forecast to be mostly sunny with highs near the mid-40s, and brisk west winds 13 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 32 mph, according to a statement issued by the National Weather Service for Staten Island. A similar outlook is also painted for the other boroughs with temperatures expected to dip into the low thirties during the night.
The National Weather Service has also released a Hazardous Weather Outlook for the New York City area, which states, "No hazardous weather is expected at this time that would meet NWS warning criteria." However, they note the potential for gale force gusts Thursday through Friday night on coastal waters, indicating some impact may be likely for those on or near the water during the holiday and following day.
As we move through the week, particularly toward the weekend, forecasts for Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island largely suggest mostly sunny and clear days followed by a chance of rain by Sunday night, with temperatures steadily climbing to the high 40s or low 50s by Monday.
