New York Weather Friday Morning: Rain Chance Eases to 90 Percent, High 68 — and Saturday's Low Is Still 45
Friday's rain is still coming, a touch less certain than it looked overnight: the station's live feed puts the rain chance at 90 percent with a high of 68, it is 66.6 degrees and overcast this morning, and the weekend behind the rain stays dry and much colder, with Saturday night down to 45.
It is a grey, mild, wet-feeling start to Friday in New York. The station's live Open-Meteo feed read 66.6 degrees and overcast this morning, feeling like 70.1, on its way to a high of 67.8 — call it 68 — with rain the day's main event: the feed carries Friday under its rain code with a precipitation probability of 90 percent and a low tonight of 57.2. That 90 percent is the morning's one revision: the feed carried 93 percent through the overnight cycles, and the chance has eased three points without changing the day's character — take the umbrella, not the gamble.
The weekend behind the rain is the better half of the forecast, and colder for it. Saturday turns dry and overcast on the feed — a high of 58.8, a precipitation chance of just 3 percent, and a low Saturday night of 44.9, the 45-degree night this desk has been flagging since Thursday. Sunday stays dry and overcast at 59.6 and 46.2, and Monday is dry again at 58.1 and 49.2. Anyone with Saturday plans outdoors gets the pick of the weekend; anyone out late Saturday night gets the coldest air of the season so far.
The dry run holds into next week on the feed: Tuesday is the week's warm day at 63.7 and 49.0 with no rain chance, Wednesday cools to 57.5 and 49.9, still dry, and the next rain signal does not appear until Thursday, when the feed shows showers at a 20 percent chance with a high of 56.3. No severe weather, no storm system and no coastal concern appears anywhere on the station's feed this morning.
The morning's bottom line is the same one the numbers have told all week, with one figure softened: Friday is the rain day at 90 percent and 68 degrees, the weekend is dry at the cost of a 45-degree Saturday night, and the dry, cooler pattern runs through Wednesday. This desk reads the feed again next cycle and files any change the moment the numbers move.
