New York, NY – Rain and fog dominate New York City’s weather today, making roads slick and visibility low for drivers and pedestrians alike. The National Weather Service (NWS) advises travelers to exercise caution, particularly during early morning hours when precipitation is most intense. Temperatures are warming above freezing, reducing the risk of ice, but wet conditions persist.
According to the NWS, light rain will continue into Sunday morning, with highs reaching 56 degrees by afternoon. This unseasonably warm weather offers some relief after recent chilly days. Winds will remain light, but rainfall could accumulate between a quarter and three-quarters of an inch, potentially causing minor street flooding in low-lying areas.
Monday marks a change as skies begin clearing, bringing sunshine and highs near 52 degrees. By Monday night, temperatures will drop to the low 40s under mostly clear skies. Tuesday’s forecast includes a mix of sun and scattered showers, with highs around 51 degrees. New Year’s Day looks mild but wet, with a 50% chance of rain and highs nearing 47 degrees.
Drivers on major routes like I-95 and the FDR Drive should stay alert for standing water and limited visibility through Sunday morning. Pedestrians should carry umbrellas and wear water-resistant footwear to stay dry.
The week ahead promises varied weather, but Monday’s sunshine offers a perfect opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities before the rain returns midweek. Stay updated on weather alerts and plan ahead for fluctuating conditions.
