New York, NY – A crisp November push settles across the city this morning as wet pavement and patchy mist linger over Manhattan streets, signaling a cooler turn that could complicate early Thanksgiving travel.
Temperatures hold in the 40s, and a sharper chill arrives by Monday, giving New Yorkers their first real Winter Tease of the holiday stretch. Travelers should prepare for slower bridge and tunnel traffic as conditions shift.
According to the National Weather Service New York office, clouds thicken through this afternoon as winds ease, holding the city in a steady late-fall pattern. Light rain may brush coastal New Jersey and Long Island during the evening, though impacts in the five boroughs stay minor. Drivers on I-95, the Cross Bronx, and BQE should still watch for quick visibility dips where drizzle lingers.
According to New York State DOT, early week travel could tighten further as a colder air mass drops Tuesday into Wednesday. Models hint at a weak coastal disturbance, adding a small but real snow-flurry chance north of the city. No accumulation is expected, yet the timing alone matters with Thanksgiving travel picking up. Keep layers ready, protect outdoor decorations, and plan for longer airport lines.
Another pulse of cooler air slides in Friday, keeping highs near the lower 50s. The weekend trends calmer, helping travelers move across the region for early holiday plans. Still, the pattern shows a November chill that may sharpen again just before Thanksgiving, offering the strongest Winter Tease so far.
