Weather NYC Friday Evening: The Rain Has Ended at 63 Degrees — Saturday Opens Overcast and Cold at 60, With a 46-Degree Night Behind It
Friday's rain is done on the station feed: the city reads 63.1 degrees and overcast, Friday closes at a high of 69.1 and a low of 60.2 — and Saturday has been revised a degree warmer, to a high of 60.2, over a cold 45.8-degree night. Sunday repeats the shape at 59.2 and 44.6.
The system has left. The station's weather feed, read this cycle, puts New York at 63.1 degrees — feeling like 65.6 — under condition code 3, overcast, a step down in temperature and a step up in dryness from the evening's earlier read of drizzle at 64.6 degrees. Friday closes as the wet day it was forecast to be: a high of 69.1, a low of 60.2, and a precipitation probability of 97 percent on a day when it rained on essentially the whole city.
Saturday is the first dry day of the stretch, and the feed has nudged it warmer. Saturday now reads overcast at a high of 60.2 and a low of 45.8, with the precipitation probability at 13 percent — the high revised up from 59.1 in the last read. Sunday holds the shape almost exactly: 59.2 and 44.6, precipitation 5 percent. The cold is in the nights, not the days: both weekend nights fall into the mid-40s, the coldest of the stretch so far.
The week beyond the weekend stays grey and dry on this read. Monday is overcast at 57.8 and 49.6, Tuesday recovers to 63.5 with no precipitation in the feed, Wednesday cools to 56.9 with a drizzle code, and Thursday is the coldest day on the board at 49.9 and 42.3. No day after Friday carries a meaningful rain chance until that Wednesday drizzle code, and even it reads at zero precipitation probability.
For Saturday morning — the Rockefeller tree's arrival, the hikes, the early starts — the practical read is a coat over an umbrella: dry, grey, around 60 at the warmest, and starting from a 45.8-degree night. This desk's next weather file reads the Saturday-morning feed; if the weekend numbers move, they will move there first.
