New Yorkers are rolling into a gray, damp Sunday, with light rain easing after dawn and temperatures stuck in the mid-40s. A northeast breeze around 10-15 mph will keep the waterfront feeling extra chilly and cap afternoon highs in the low to mid-50s. Morning commuters should brace for wet streets, slower surface transit and possible ferry delays.
Morning Showers, Drier Afternoon
Most of the leftover showers should fade by mid-morning, giving way to a mix of clouds and some breaks of sun with a high near 55°F. Northeast winds will stay on the breezy side, and gusts in more exposed spots could reach the mid-20s. New rainfall amounts are expected to stay light, generally a few tenths of an inch, according to the National Weather Service.
Marine Outlook
Small Craft Advisories remain posted for several offshore zones and south-shore bays into Monday morning, with seas near 5 feet and choppy conditions that will be rough on smaller boats. Recreational boaters and ferry riders may want to postpone exposed trips or check operator notices before heading out. For more on how the soggy setup developed, see our weekend soak report.
Commute Notes
Expect slick spots and heavier-than-usual traffic during the morning rush, so build in a little extra time if you are driving or relying on buses. At the airports, ceilings should improve to VFR by mid-morning, although gusty crosswinds could still trigger occasional delays, according to the National Weather Service.
Looking Ahead
Monday looks brighter, with highs close to 62°F, before the pattern turns unsettled again by midweek. The best shot at more widespread rain arrives late Wednesday into Thursday. For help timing out the next round of wet weather, check our earlier storm coverage.
