New York, NY – Dry skies and crisp air will dominate New York Wednesday, but rain returns by Thursday night, disrupting the first taste of fall.
According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday stays sunny with highs near 75 and light winds, making for perfect commuting conditions across I-95 and the FDR Drive. But clouds increase Thursday, and showers may arrive by late evening, threatening outdoor plans and slowing traffic across the boroughs.
New Yorkers should enjoy Wednesday’s comfortable weather while preparing for wet conditions later in the week. Carry umbrellas, allow extra travel time, and plan for slippery roads Thursday night into Friday morning. The morning commute Friday could see damp conditions, though skies brighten later with highs near 80.
Weekend activities may face interruptions, especially outdoor events and Friday night football games in the metro area. A 30 to 40 percent chance of showers lingers into Saturday, with clearing skies and highs near 79 by Sunday. Temperatures remain seasonable, with cool nights in the low 60s offering a true hint of September.
The unsettled stretch marks the city’s first fall-style weather pattern, a shift from summer’s heat. Residents should stay alert for changing conditions and potential advisories later this week.
