New York, NY – A brisk west wind and deepening clouds will mark a clear sign of November’s arrival across the New York metro this weekend. Temperatures stay seasonably mild through Sunday, but a passing system Monday may bring the first steady rain in several days — and a cooler push that reminds residents winter is close. Commuters should expect slick spots and gusty conditions near bridges and along I-95 early Monday before clearing resumes by Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Upton, a weak front slides through late Sunday night into Monday, carrying a 30 to 40 percent chance of rain, most likely during the morning drive. Winds may gust near 30 mph at times, particularly along the Hudson and coastal corridors. The air turns crisper Monday night as lows dip into the upper 40s, with daytime highs falling to the lower 50s by midweek.
Drivers and outdoor workers should plan for short bursts of drizzle and slippery leaves on side streets. Lightweight layers and secure coverings for outdoor furniture are advised as gusts increase. Cooler air behind the front will make Tuesday and Wednesday feel noticeably more seasonal, under mostly sunny skies.
While snow remains confined to the upper Great Lakes and northern New England for now, regional patterns hint at a colder trend by mid-November. Early holiday travelers could see the first true taste of winter within two weeks if current model guidance holds. For now, enjoy one more round of bright fall color and mild air before the late-autumn chill sets in.
