New York – A damp Saturday will transition into a brighter start to the week as showers taper and fall sunshine takes over. Rain could still slow drivers this evening across the I-95 corridor, making for slick conditions on city streets and bridges.
According to the National Weather Service, a 60 percent chance of showers will persist mainly between late Saturday evening and early Sunday morning. Rainfall totals will remain light, but puddles on highways like the FDR Drive and I-278 may still cause hydroplaning hazards. Skies begin clearing Sunday, and commuters can expect a dry, seasonable Monday with highs near 76.
Winds will shift north by Sunday, ushering in drier air and a noticeable cooldown at night, with lows dipping into the 60s. The first real taste of October arrives midweek, when highs settle into the lower 60s under mostly sunny skies. Clear nights will mean cooler mornings, ideal for fall activities but brisk for early commutes.
Travelers should use caution during tonight’s showers and allow extra time for road spray and reduced visibility. Those with flights out of LaGuardia or JFK may encounter minor delays as scattered rain passes through.
The weather pattern steadies next week, keeping New York mostly sunny and dry as September closes. Cooler, crisp air moving in by Wednesday will set the stage for October’s first true fall stretch.
