New York, NY – Showers are expected to linger across New York City overnight, making for damp streets and reduced visibility until early Friday morning. Most of the city will dry out by sunrise, but residents should plan for slick commutes and keep umbrellas handy as scattered rain may persist before 8 a.m.

Rain chances decrease to 30% after sunrise, with drier air gradually moving in. By midday Friday, skies will begin to clear, and temperatures will reach a high of 72°F. The wet weather could cause minor delays along the FDR Drive, Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, and bridges—so drivers are urged to use extra caution during the early morning hours.
By Friday night, conditions turn partly cloudy with lows in the mid-60s. Sunshine returns for the weekend as Saturday and Sunday look dry and warm, with highs reaching the upper 70s to low 80s.
