New York City is starting Monday under clear skies, with overnight lows forecast to rise from the 40s to around 50 degrees by Tuesday morning, but the day is headed toward a mild 65 degrees. Mostly sunny conditions and a light southwest breeze should make for an easy start to the week, with no umbrella needed for most city plans.
The warm-up continues Tuesday and Wednesday, when highs should reach 67 and 69 degrees, respectively. The National Weather Service says temperatures will run roughly 10 degrees above normal through midweek, with a return of southwest flow.
Fog Could Sneak Into Midweek Mornings
While temperatures run above normal through midweek, fog chances may increase late Tuesday night into Wednesday night as humidity rises. That could mean a murkier start for some commuters, even as the city warms back into the upper 60s by afternoon.
Rain Arrives Thursday And Lingers
The forecast turns unsettled Thursday, with a 50% chance of rain beginning after 7 a.m. and mostly cloudy skies overhead. Rain becomes likely Thursday night and Friday, when the chance reaches about 70% and temperatures remain unusually mild near 70 degrees.
Weekend Trends Cooler And Drier
Saturday brings another chance of light rain, along with partly sunny skies and a high near 67. The weekend should end on a drier note Sunday, with mostly sunny conditions and a high around 64—still pleasant, but less like a summer encore than the middle of the week.
