New York City gets a sunny, summery Friday, with temperatures climbing from the upper 60s early to a high near 81 degrees. The air will stay muggy, but light winds and mostly clear skies should make for an easy start to the weekend.
Sunny Friday, Muggy Saturday
Friday afternoon brings mostly sunny skies and a west wind around 6 mph, with a stray shower or thunderstorm unlikely but not impossible. Friday night turns partly cloudy with a low near 72, while Saturday stays partly sunny and reaches about 81 degrees as southerly winds pick up.
That southern breeze could make the waterfront feel a little more active, and beachgoers should take note of a moderate rip-current risk at local ocean beaches on Friday and Saturday. The earlier Hoodline forecast also pointed to a dry weekend, but the latest outlook brings the more meaningful weather turn into Sunday night and Monday.
Storm Chances Return Sunday Night
Sunday will be mostly cloudy with a high near 79, followed by a 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms Sunday night. Showers and thunderstorms are likely Monday, when the high should reach around 80 and heavy rainfall could become an issue in parts of the region.
According to the National Weather Service, unsettled conditions could linger into Tuesday, although the forecast then trends warmer and somewhat drier. Tuesday is expected to reach 83 with a 30% chance of showers and storms, while Wednesday and Thursday could reach the mid-80s with additional storm chances.
