New York, NY – A comfortable Labor Day awaits the New York metro area Monday as seasonable temperatures and dry skies settle in across the region. Morning lows will dip into the 50s for much of the Hudson Valley and northern New Jersey, with New York City holding near the low 60s before climbing to afternoon highs in the mid to upper 70s.
According to the National Weather Service in New York, skies will stay partly cloudy with light east-northeast winds at 5 to 10 mph. Conditions will be dry, giving holiday travelers and outdoor events a quiet stretch of weather. Along the coast, a low rip current risk remains in place, but lifeguards still advise swimmers to use caution at Atlantic-facing beaches on Long Island and the Jersey Shore.
Communities from White Plains to Newark can expect clear roads and no weather-related delays for morning or evening travel. In Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan, cooler-than-average highs will provide relief for outdoor gatherings and Labor Day parades.
Dry weather is expected to hold into midweek, with temperatures trending near seasonal norms. No advisories or warnings are in effect at this time.
