New York – A crisp, breezy start greets the city this morning as clouds drift over the skyline and a cool wind sweeps across Central Park. The air feels sharp for late November, and conditions will shift fast as we head toward Sunday, when rain pushes into the region and could disrupt returning Post-Thanksgiving travel across the Northeast.
According to the National Weather Service, today remains mostly sunny but brisk, with west winds topping 20 mph at times and gusts pushing toward 40 mph. Streets may stay dry, yet the pavement will feel colder through the afternoon as temperatures hold in the low 40s. Plan extra layers if you’re out decorating or walking to work.
Rain builds Sunday, starting after midday as a steady band moves north along the I-95 corridor. Meteorologists expect an 80% chance of showers, and travel may slow as visibility drops and roads turn slick. Keep umbrellas close; winds may still tug at them during stronger bursts. Drivers returning from holiday trips should watch for reduced traction on bridges and overpasses.
Sunday night brings another wave of showers before conditions gradually improve into Monday. While temperatures stay above freezing, early December models hint at colder air settling over the region next week. A Winter Tease could form between December 2 and December 6, with a stronger cold front dropping readings well below normal from the Midwest to New England. A light mix can’t be fully ruled out in the region if temperatures dip near 32 degrees during the first week of December.
