New York City, NY – A quiet stretch of dry weather will come to an end Sunday as showers and thunderstorms move into the New York City metro area, with the potential for isolated severe storms by evening.
According to the National Weather Service in New York, light showers may develop during the morning and early afternoon, mainly across parts of southern Connecticut and the Lower Hudson Valley. Conditions are expected to worsen later in the day as a more organized system pushes into the region.
Forecasters say widespread showers and thunderstorms are likely Sunday evening, with the greatest risk for stronger storms focused across northeast New Jersey, New York City, and areas west of the metro. While not everyone will see severe weather, an isolated thunderstorm could produce gusty winds and brief heavy rainfall.
Temperatures will climb into the mid to upper 60s across much of the NYC metro, with slightly cooler 50s expected on Long Island and parts of southern Connecticut. Morning temperatures will start in the 40s in the city and 30s farther inland.
Winds will remain relatively light out of the south to southwest at 5 to 10 mph, but could become gusty near thunderstorms.
The timing of the storms could impact evening plans and travel, especially along major corridors in the tri-state area. Drivers should be prepared for reduced visibility and ponding on roadways during heavier downpours.
Residents are encouraged to monitor weather updates and be prepared to move indoors if storms strengthen.
