New York is gearing up for a wet week ahead. Light rain showers are expected to move in starting Tuesday afternoon, bringing a 50% chance of showers by 8 a.m. This marks the beginning of a period of unsettled weather, with rain likely to persist through Wednesday and into Thursday. Drivers should expect wet conditions on roadways, particularly during peak hours.
According to the National Weather Service, the city will see increasing cloud cover on Monday night, leading to those early showers on Tuesday. Temperatures will hover around 65°F, but with calm winds and increased moisture in the air, conditions could feel more humid than usual. Those with outdoor plans or early commutes should keep an umbrella handy.
Looking ahead, the rainy trend will continue through Wednesday, with a 70% chance of showers. The heaviest rainfall is expected by Wednesday morning. By Thursday, conditions will remain cloudy, but rain chances will slightly decrease to 40%. Residents are advised to keep an eye on the forecast as the week progresses and prepare for continued wet conditions.
For those planning outdoor activities, it’s best to check the forecast regularly, as there could be sudden showers throughout the week. As always, driving conditions may be slippery, especially early in the morning or late at night when visibility is reduced. Remember to use extra caution on roadways and avoid any non-essential travel during heavy rain periods.
In the longer term, expect a dry break heading into Friday, with temperatures returning to the low 70s. However, scattered showers could make a return by the weekend, so it’s important to keep updated on evolving weather patterns.
