New York City is starting Tuesday with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures near 49 degrees, but the calm setup will not last all week. Sunshine should push the city to about 61 degrees this afternoon, while west winds gust as high as 25 mph before a rainy, colder turn arrives late Thursday.
Sunshine Holds Through Veterans Day
Tuesday will be mostly cloudy before clearing, with west winds and gusts near 25 mph. Skies clear further Tuesday night, with temperatures near 51 degrees, followed by another mostly sunny day Wednesday and a high around 61.
The warm spell fades quickly after Veterans Day. The National Weather Service describes a possible late-Thursday system that could bring rain. An earlier Hoodline forecast gave a 30% chance of rain after 1 p.m.
Thursday Rain Leads Into A Raw Friday
Thursday will be mostly cloudy, with temperatures reaching about 59 degrees. Rain continues Thursday night as temperatures drop to around 45 degrees, setting up a wet and windy Friday.
Friday brings a 70% chance of rain, a high near 48 degrees and northerly winds of 15 to 20 mph, with gusts around 25 knots. Rain should taper Friday night into early Saturday, when a slight chance of showers remains before 7 a.m.
Coastal Flood Concerns Appear Limited
The likely northerly wind component should limit coastal-flood concerns.
A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect through 1 a.m. Wednesday for the eastern ocean waters, where gusts near 25 mph and waves of 5 to 6 feet are expected. New Yorkers with waterfront plans should keep an eye on updated tide, wind and marine conditions as the late-week system approaches.
Weekend Weather Turns Drier
Saturday should improve to partly sunny conditions with a high near 48 degrees, although a brisk northwest wind will linger. Sunday looks mostly sunny with a high around 51, followed by a sunny Monday near 53 degrees.
