Weather NYC: A Clear 49-Degree Night Gives Way to an Overcast 57 Monday — Tuesday Is the Week's Warmest at 62
New York starts Monday clear and cold at 49.6 degrees, turns overcast with a high of 57.4, and warms to a week-best 62.1 on Tuesday — before Thursday's rain and a cold 47.8-degree Saturday.
The overnight sky over New York is clear and the air has a November edge: the station feed puts the city at 49.6 degrees under a clear sky early Monday, feeling like 41. Monday itself turns overcast, with a high of 57.4 and a low of 42.7 and only a 4 percent precipitation probability — a dry, grey start to the working week, one step cooler than the weekend's close and dressed accordingly: the morning's clear cold, not the afternoon's cloud, is what sets the coat.
The week's shape is a brief warm-up and then a wet, cold turn. Tuesday is the warmest day of the seven at 62.1 degrees, still overcast, with a low of 41.2 and a 2 percent rain chance. Wednesday holds near 59 with the week's mildest night, a low of 49.5, and no rain in the feed. Thursday is the break: rain, code 65 on the feed, at a 67 percent probability, high 59 and low 49.5 — followed by a showery Friday at 54.5 (68 percent) and the week's coldest day on Saturday, a high of just 47.8.
Nothing in the feed names a storm, a vortex or any severe event for New York City this week, and this desk does not invent one: the story of the week is ordinary November doing its work — two dry grey days, a midweek mild night, a rainy Thursday and a cold weekend behind it. The feed is the check before any plan that depends on the sky; it is read live at the top of every cycle, and this file will be re-filed when its numbers move.
