New York City is starting Monday under cloudy skies with temperatures around 74 degrees, and the day should stay mostly dry. Highs will reach near 79 before showers and thunderstorms become likely after 8 p.m., setting up a notably unsettled stretch through midweek.
Winds will remain light, generally 5 to 7 mph, shifting from the northeast and east to the south as the day progresses. Rain chances stay in the low teens through the afternoon, and no watches, warnings or advisories are posted, according to the National Weather Service.
Monday night's storm chance rises to 60%, with mostly cloudy skies and a low near 73. Most rainfall is expected to remain below a tenth of an inch in the city, though heavier downpours are possible and isolated flash flooding cannot be ruled out in places with poor drainage; the timing is a more specific update to the earlier Hoodline forecast.
Tuesday Through Thursday Stay Unsettled
Tuesday will be warmer, with a high near 83 and a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms after some possible early rain. The strongest storms remain uncertain, but forecasters say the setup could support a few stronger cells, especially from the city north and west.
Wednesday looks cooler at around 77 degrees, with showers and thunderstorms likely during the daytime and additional storms possible Wednesday night. Thursday rebounds to about 83 degrees, but more showers and thunderstorms are likely early before the chance gradually eases.
Friday Brings A Cooler Reset
Friday is expected to turn mostly sunny with a high near 81, followed by a cooler night near 67. Saturday may bring a few showers with a high around 78, while Sunday currently looks like the weekend's cleanest day: sunny and near 77.
