New York City woke Tuesday to clear skies, a brisk northeast breeze and temperatures around 60 degrees — a crisp start before the city warms to about 72 this afternoon. The forecast includes a low-probability chance of rain beginning Thursday night and continuing into Friday, but outdoor plans still have a relatively favorable window through Thursday.
Warm Stretch Builds Through Thursday
Tuesday will be sunny with light northeast winds initially, shifting to east-northeast and then southeast at speeds under 10 knots, while Wednesday turns mostly sunny and warmer, reaching about 79 degrees. Thursday is expected to be warmer or near normal, with sunny and dry conditions. The National Weather Service says no hazardous weather is expected through Thursday, and no watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the city.
Rain Chances Return After Dark Thursday
A low-probability chance of rain arrives late Thursday and continues into Friday. Friday also carries a rain chance, but thunderstorms are not expected. For commuters and outdoor events, the rain risk remains a consideration.
Weekend Starts Bright, Ends Wetter
Saturday brings increasing clouds and sunshine, but showers could develop after 2 a.m. Sunday. Sunday brings a rain chance of around 30%, while precipitation probabilities for the second half of the weekend are not detailed. More widespread rainfall is possible during the second half of the weekend.
The outlook is a substantive update from the weekend forecast Hoodline reported Friday, which focused on a wetter setup arriving sooner. The latest forecast includes rain chances late Thursday into Friday and during the second half of the weekend, leaving Tuesday and Wednesday as the city's cleanest weather window.
