New York, NY – Fall weather is slowly making its presence known in New York as cooler nights settle in this week. Sunshine will dominate during the day, but evening temperatures will dip enough to give the city its first hint of September crispness. Commuters along the FDR Drive and Brooklyn-Queens Expressway can expect smooth, dry travel conditions Tuesday morning.
According to the National Weather Service, Tuesday, September 9 will bring plenty of sunshine with highs near 71 degrees and light winds. By Tuesday night, temperatures fall to around 60 under partly cloudy skies. While no storms or major hazards are expected, residents should prepare for cooler overnight lows by midweek, especially if walking or biking home after dark.
Wednesday continues the trend with partly sunny skies and a high near 69, before another dip into the low 60s overnight. Thursday is expected to be the warmest day of the week, with afternoon highs reaching 77 degrees under bright sun. These dry and stable conditions will make for favorable commutes across bridges, highways, and major routes, though drivers should remain alert to increased evening congestion with school traffic returning.
By Friday, another round of sunshine brings highs near 72 before cooler nights return. The weekend looks pleasant, with sunshine holding steady and highs remaining in the low 70s.
The week’s main story is the return of consistent sun paired with a noticeable evening chill. New Yorkers should plan layers for morning commutes and keep evening jackets handy. Clear skies will continue to favor outdoor events and travel.
