New York City is starting Thursday cloudy and near 67 degrees, with a warm, mostly dry stretch ahead before the weekend turns cooler. A few brief showers remain possible between 8 and 11 a.m., but the afternoon should bring partly sunny skies and a high near 76.
Friday Brings The Week’s Warmest Weather
Friday looks like the warmest day of the stretch, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 81. The National Weather Service puts the chance of showers at 30% after 5 p.m., as southwest winds increase to 9 to 13 mph and a cold front approaches.
Showers could become more likely Friday night, when the city faces a 40% chance of rain, mostly cloudy skies and northwest winds around 14 mph. Rainfall is expected to remain light, with less than a tenth of an inch possible.
Weekend Rain Chance Grows Sunday
Saturday should be noticeably cooler, topping out near 71 with only a slight chance of an early shower before 8 a.m. Skies are then expected to turn mostly sunny, making the day a better outdoor window than Sunday.
Sunday brings a high near 67 and a 40% chance of rain after 2 p.m., a sharper wet-weather signal than the outlook in Hoodline’s previous forecast. The current forecast favors intermittent light rain rather than a full-day washout, but anyone making afternoon plans may want a backup option.
Early Fall Chill Arrives Next Week
Monday should be mostly sunny with a high near 70, followed by a much cooler Monday night near 49. Tuesday is forecast to be sunny with a high around 62, while Wednesday stays bright and reaches about 63.
No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for New York City. For now, Thursday afternoon and Saturday look like the cleanest outdoor windows, while Friday evening and Sunday afternoon carry the better chances of getting rained on.
