Weather NYC: Clear and 57 on Monday Afternoon, a Chilly Evening Home — Tuesday Is the Week's Warmest at 62, and Thursday's Rain Is Still the Turn
The overcast day that wasn't: the station feed reads clear skies at 56.7 degrees mid-afternoon, feeling like 47 in the wind. Tonight drops to 44, Tuesday tops the week at 61.8 and stays dry, Wednesday stays dry for the parade — then rain arrives Thursday at 69 percent.
Monday was supposed to be the grey one, and by mid-afternoon the sky had other ideas. The station's live feed reads clear skies (condition code 0) at 56.7 degrees across the five boroughs, on the way to a high of 59.2 — though the feels-like reading of 46.9 is the number the evening commute will believe, a reminder that the wind is doing more than the thermometer today. Nothing is falling and nothing will: the day's precipitation chance sits at 4 percent, and the ride home is dry on every line the feed covers.
Tonight bottoms out at 43.8 degrees under the same clearing pattern, and then the week takes its one warm step. Tuesday is the warmest day left in the forecast — high 61.8, low 41.1, overcast but effectively dry at a 2 percent rain chance — and Wednesday, parade day, holds the line: high 59.9, low 41.1 and a zero in the precipitation column, which is the reading the Veterans Day march up Fifth Avenue needed. If you have one outdoor errand left in this stretch of November, Tuesday is the day the feed is pointing at.
The turn is still Thursday, and it is still wet. Rain (condition code 63) arrives Thursday with a 69 percent chance, a high of 57 and a mild low of 49.7 — then the temperatures fall out behind it: Friday brings drizzle at the same 69 percent chance but a high of only 49.7 and a low of 39.9, Saturday stays cold at 46.1, and Sunday's overcast high is 47.6. The shape of the week, in one line: enjoy the clear, chilly afternoon and the warm, dry Tuesday — the season reasserts itself on Thursday and does not give the warmth back.
