New York Weather: Clear and Chilly Tonight, Then Monday Warms to 65 and Election Day Stays Dry
The station feed reads 51.2 degrees and clear this evening, on the way to a 40.5-degree overnight low. Monday climbs to 65.4 and Tuesday — Election Day — stays dry at 64.7; the week's rain waits until Thursday and Friday.
Marathon Sunday is ending cold and clear. The station's weather feed read 51.2 degrees on Sunday evening, feeling like 46.7, under a clear sky — and the night continues down from there, to an overnight low of 40.5 degrees with no precipitation. It is a coat-and-then-some night for the runners still walking home from Central Park.
Monday is the week's warm turn. The feed puts Monday's high at 65.4 degrees with a low of 44.8 and only a 2 percent precipitation chance under overcast skies — the warmest, driest errand day of the week, and the last full day before the election.
Tuesdays in this city are about lines, and the weather will not be one of the obstacles: Election Day reads 64.7 degrees, low 47.1, precipitation chance 2 percent. Wednesday holds at 64.4 before the pattern breaks — showers enter Thursday (65.2 degrees, 49 percent precipitation chance) and continue Friday (61.3, 57 percent), cooling into a drizzly Saturday at 59.1.
The shape of the week, then, is simple: vote and travel in the dry front half, and keep the umbrella for Thursday. Tonight, bundle up — the clear sky that made the marathon photogenic is the same one letting the day's warmth straight out.
