New York – Gray skies hang low over the city this morning, and while the air feels mild, a wave of rain and storms is already organizing to push in by evening.
According to the National Weather Service in New York, temperatures will rise to around 61°F today with mostly cloudy skies and a light south wind. Conditions remain manageable through the afternoon, but changes arrive quickly after 5 p.m. as rain and scattered thunderstorms develop.
Rain becomes steady into the evening, with totals between a quarter and half an inch possible across the five boroughs. Roads along I-95, the FDR Drive, and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway could turn slick fast, with reduced visibility during heavier bursts.
By early Monday, showers linger before tapering off late morning. Cooler air moves in behind the system, dropping highs to around 47°F. Winds shift northwest and may gust between 15 and 20 mph, adding a brisk edge to the day.
Monday night brings clearing skies and a sharp drop to near 35°F. Any leftover moisture could refreeze, creating patchy black ice on bridges and elevated roadways into early Tuesday.
Sunshine returns Tuesday with highs near 46°F, followed by a gradual warmup into the low 50s by midweek. Another round of rain may approach by Thursday as spring stays active.
Plan for wet roads and slower travel this evening into Monday morning. Keep layers ready as temperatures swing quickly.
