New York City is starting Tuesday, November 3, with temperatures in the low 50s, and the afternoon will feel more like early fall than late fall. The high is forecast in the upper 60s to mid-70s, with southwest winds and no rain expected.

Sunny And Mild Through Wednesday

Tuesday's wind will be from the southwest, and conditions will stay dry tonight as temperatures dip to around 55 degrees. Wednesday's high is forecast in the upper 60s to low 70s.

The National Weather Service says temperatures will run roughly 10 to 15 degrees above normal through midweek. That is a meaningful upgrade from Hoodline's Monday forecast, with Tuesday and Wednesday now trending several degrees warmer.

Rain Arrives Thursday, Turns Messy Friday

Thursday brings a 50% chance of rain beginning after 7 a.m., mostly cloudy skies and a high around 72. The bigger weather shift comes Thursday night into Friday, when showers and thunderstorms become likely.

Friday carries an 80% chance of rain, with thunderstorms possible and some storms capable of producing heavy rain. Forecasters say 1 to 2 inches of rain could fall, with locally higher totals possible, raising the risk of nuisance street flooding and a potentially messy Friday evening commute.

Weekend Eases, But Umbrellas May Linger

Saturday should reach around 67 degrees, with some chance of rain, followed by mostly sunny conditions Sunday near 64. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for New York City in the current outlook, but residents with outdoor plans should keep an eye on Friday's storm timing and flooding potential.
