Sunrise in New York City came with clear skies, low humidity and temperatures hovering near 65°F Sunday morning, a setup for a bright, mostly sunny day. Afternoon highs are expected to reach around 80°F, with a light northeast breeze keeping shoreline neighborhoods a few degrees cooler than spots farther inland.
Late Monday Through Midweek
A slow-moving front edges into the region late Monday, July 27, bringing a chance for afternoon showers and isolated thunderstorms mainly after 2 p.m., followed by scattered showers Monday night. The higher odds for steadier, heavier rain arrive Tuesday, July 28, into Wednesday, July 29, when showers and thunderstorms are likely, with new rainfall totals of about a half to three quarters of an inch possible in spots. The Weather Prediction Center has the metropolitan area under a marginal risk for excessive rainfall Tuesday–Wednesday, so localized flooding and slower commutes are on the table.
Beachgoers And Mariners
Ocean conditions stay relatively calm today with seas around 3 feet, though a moderate rip current risk continues at ocean beaches through Monday, and small craft advisories are possible as winds increase midweek. South winds will strengthen Monday night into Tuesday, with gusts that could kick up choppy conditions for small boats and ferries. For the latest local marine and beach guidance, see the National Weather Service forecast.
Plan Ahead
Enjoy the sunshine today, but have an umbrella handy for Monday afternoon plans and be ready for soggy commutes Tuesday–Wednesday if thunderstorms materialize. If you live in a flood-prone area, avoid driving through standing water and build in extra travel time as conditions evolve.
