New York starts the morning under light rain and gray skies, with slick pavement already slowing traffic across Manhattan and into North Jersey. Visibility holds steady but damp roads on the FDR Drive and I-278 are creating longer commute times right now.
According to the National Weather Service, showers continue through late morning before tapering off by early afternoon, with about a 60% chance of rain and light accumulation under a tenth of an inch . Winds shift northwest later today, signaling a colder air mass moving into the region.
At Central Park, temperatures sit in the low 60s early, but that mild feel fades quickly. By late day, readings slide into the 40s, and a brisk wind adds a chill heading into the evening across all five boroughs and nearby parts of New Jersey.
Skies begin to clear heading into Saturday, but temperatures drop to near 34°F by early morning. Wind chills could dip into the mid-20s, especially in exposed areas. Any leftover moisture on bridges and elevated roadways could refreeze, creating patchy slick spots. Use caution on early drives.
Saturday stays bright but cool, with highs near 42°F. Sunday brings a gradual rebound into the low 50s with more sunshine, offering a calmer stretch to end the weekend.
Looking ahead, Monday delivers a milder push with highs near 59°F and partly sunny skies. A few scattered showers may return by Tuesday as spring patterns stay active across the Northeast.
