New York, NY — New Yorkers can expect a sunny day with above-normal temperatures today, but gusty winds may impact outdoor plans. Temperatures are forecast to reach the low 70s in the afternoon, with winds ranging from 10 to 15 mph and gusts peaking near 25 mph. These dry, breezy conditions are expected throughout Saturday, making it essential for those near highways like I-95 and I-87 to be cautious of crosswinds, especially during high-speed travel.
According to the National Weather Service, dry conditions will persist, with mostly clear skies and morning lows in the 50s, rising to the 60s and 70s by afternoon. These gusty winds may affect lighter objects outside—so secure outdoor furniture or decorations to avoid damage.
The forecast for the rest of the weekend includes increasing clouds tonight and a slight chance of rain on Sunday, particularly in the afternoon. A cold front may bring showers and potential thunderstorms Sunday night, with rain likely into Monday morning. Gusts could increase, reaching up to 31 mph by late Sunday.
Residents are urged to take precautions if traveling or planning outdoor activities. Sunday’s showers are expected to bring light rainfall, but heavier amounts could occur in isolated thunderstorms. The weather clears by Tuesday, with sunny skies and cooler temperatures into midweek.
