New York – Warm sunshine holds steady for New York City this Friday, but changes arrive by late in the weekend. Residents planning travel on I-95 or FDR Drive should be prepared for possible wet roads as showers return Sunday night.
According to the National Weather Service, skies stay mostly sunny Friday with a high near 73 and light northeast winds. The pleasant pattern continues into Saturday, making it a strong window for outdoor plans, before clouds and a 30 percent rain chance build late Sunday.
Friday’s clear skies will help ease commuter congestion, with dry conditions expected across the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. Families attending September festivals or school events should see ideal weather through Saturday evening. By Sunday night, however, showers may impact visibility and slick pavement on major routes, including the George Washington Bridge approaches.
Daytime highs hover in the mid-70s Friday and Sunday before dipping slightly into the lower 70s Monday. Overnight lows remain mild, holding near the mid-60s, which reduces risks of early season chill but maintains humidity.
Residents are advised to monitor evening forecasts heading into Sunday night. Wet roads may slow Monday morning traffic, particularly along I-278 and I-495. Keeping vehicles fueled and umbrellas ready will help commuters navigate the shift.
Conditions improve again by midweek, with dry air and sunshine returning Tuesday and Wednesday, offering a calmer start to late September.
