New York Weather: 49 Degrees and Clear Tonight, Monday at 65 and an Even Warmer Election Day
The station feed reads 49.3 degrees and clear on Sunday night, heading for a 40.5 low. Monday warms to 65.5, and Tuesday — Election Day — now reads 66.9 and dry on the latest feed.
Sunday is closing the way the marathon ran it: clear and cold. The station's weather feed read 49.3 degrees on Sunday night, feeling like 44.5, under a clear sky, with the overnight low still to come at 40.5 degrees and no precipitation. It is the coldest-feeling night of the young month so far for anyone walking a finisher's medal home.
Monday is the warm-up act. The feed puts Monday's high at 65.5 degrees with a low of 44.0 and a 2 percent precipitation chance under overcast skies — the mildest errand and campaign day of the week, and the last day before the vote.
Tuesdays forecast has warmed since this station's evening file: Election Day now reads a high of 66.9 degrees, a low of 47.0 and the same 2 percent precipitation chance. Polls run 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., and on these numbers the weather gives nobody an excuse and nobody an obstacle. Wednesday holds at 64.4 before the pattern turns — showers Thursday (65.2, 49 percent) and Friday (61.3, 57 percent).
So the week's advice is unchanged and simpler than ever: a heavy coat tonight, light layers for the line at your poll site on Tuesday, and the umbrella kept for Thursday.
