New York, NY – Drivers across New York could face patchy fog early Thursday morning before skies clear and temperatures climb into the upper 70s. Commuters should use caution on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and FDR Drive, as reduced visibility may create early delays.
According to the National Weather Service, fog is expected to lift by midmorning Thursday, leaving behind sunshine and a high near 77. South winds will pick up to near 15 mph in the afternoon. Thursday night brings a 50% chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms, mainly after sunset.
