New York, NY – Wind gusts nearing 30 mph could stir up outdoor plans Sunday in New York City as bright skies and springlike warmth return. Temperatures will climb to a pleasant 70°F by mid-afternoon, but stiff breezes may disrupt travel along I-87 and park activities across Manhattan.

Those heading outside should secure loose outdoor items and take extra caution while driving in open areas and on elevated roadways. Despite the sun, cooler air and gusts may still make jackets necessary, especially near the water.
