NEW YORK, N.Y. – Fall sunshine will dominate New York City through Saturday, offering crisp, picture-perfect weather before a damp Sunday cools things down again. After several blustery mornings, a stretch of calmer, milder air will make this weekend ideal for outdoor events, park walks, and late-October festivals.
According to the National Weather Service in Upton, Thursday and Friday will bring sunny skies with highs in the upper 50s to near 60. Winds will ease from the north around 10 to 15 mph, keeping humidity low and skies crystal clear. By Saturday, a southerly flow will push temperatures into the low 60s—excellent for fall leaf viewing across Central Park or along the Hudson River Greenway.
The calm weather won’t last. Clouds will thicken Sunday afternoon as a weak cold front approaches from the west. Rain chances climb to 70% by Sunday night, which could create slick roads along I-95 and delays for evening drivers. The wet stretch may linger into early next week with occasional showers and cooler highs in the 50s.
Residents should secure outdoor decorations and check gutters before the rain returns. While no frost or freeze is expected in the city, cooler air behind the system could bring a brief chill by midweek—just in time for those prepping Halloween displays.
