New York City Prepares for Showers and Potential Storms with Weekend Warm-Up In Sight

Forecasts indicate showers and potential thunderstorms throughout the boroughs, preparing the city of New York for a windy and rainy week’s conclusion. According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will decrease this evening, with a high of about 44 degrees in Manhattan and north winds of up to 24 mph. Similar conditions are anticipated in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, with minor changes in wind speed and temperature.

According to the very detailed forecasts for Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, there is a 60% chance of showers throughout the boroughs on Friday. However, the weather over the weekend is expected to be partly to largely sunny, offering some relief from the rain. Most boroughs will see a high of about 53 degrees on Sunday as temperatures steadily rise.

Additionally, portions of the area are under a coastal flood advisory. The National Weather Service issued a “Coastal Flood Advisory in effect from 1 PM to 5 PM EST this afternoon,” warning of coastal flooding in New York’s southern Fairfield and southern Westchester. Flooding is predicted across Long Island and other parts of southeast New York between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST, according to additional advisories. The National Weather Service’s advisory page has the full hazardous weather outlook.

Residents are encouraged to keep up with the weather outlook even though no additional dangerous weather that would meet the National Weather Service warning criteria is anticipated for the next few days. It is stated in the hazardous weather outlook that “no hazardous weather is expected at this time that would meet NWS warning criteria.” Isolated gale-force winds are predicted for ocean seas this weekend, especially on Saturday and Sunday. New Yorkers should closely monitor tidal surges around coastal areas and get ready to navigate the upcoming showers.
