New York City, New York – Sunshine and dry pavement dominate New York City this morning, but umbrellas will become increasingly useful over the next five days. Temperatures climb from 79 degrees today to 82 Sunday before repeated shower chances reach the city.
According to the National Weather Service in New York, Central Park reported 66 degrees at 8:51 a.m. EDT. Humidity stood at 63%, with a north wind near 6 mph. Today stays sunny with a high near 79.
Sunday brings the first meaningful change. The city reaches about 82 degrees before showers and thunderstorms become possible after 2 p.m. The rain chance reaches 40%. Anyone heading to parks, outdoor events or area airports should watch conditions during the afternoon.
