Weather NYC: Mainly Clear and 58 Late Monday Morning, High 59 — the Sun Is Winning the Day the Clouds Were Supposed to Have
The station feed has upgraded the day: mainly clear skies and 58.2 degrees late this morning, Tuesday still the warm day at 62, and Thursday's rain showers still the week's turn at a 69 percent chance.
Monday changed its mind. The station's live feed read 58.2 degrees under mainly clear skies (code 1) late this morning, feeling like 48.2 in the breeze, on the way to a Monday high of 59 and a low of 44, with the chance of precipitation at just 4 percent. That is a different day from the one this desk filed at mid-morning, when the same feed read 54 under a full overcast — the cloud deck has thinned, the temperature has climbed past the earlier forecast path, and the afternoon now belongs to the sun rather than the grey.
The rest of the week holds the shape the feed has carried all day, on updated numbers. Tuesday is the warm day, overcast with a high of 62.4 and a low of 41.8 and a 2 percent rain chance. Wednesday — Veterans Day, with the parade up Fifth Avenue — stays dry and overcast at 59.4 and 44.1 with a zero percent rain chance on this feed, the best news the week's biggest outdoor event could ask for. Thursday remains the turn: rain showers (code 81), a high of 60.8 and a mild low of 53.0, with the precipitation chance at 69 percent.
Behind the rain, the cold is still coming, though the feed has softened one edge of it: Friday reads overcast and colder at 53.3 and 42.8 with a 69 percent precipitation chance, Saturday is the coldest day of the week with drizzle (code 51) at 46.2 and 41.4 — but Saturday's precipitation chance has fallen to 23 percent from the 46 percent the feed carried this morning — and Sunday stays overcast and cold at 46.2 and 41.9. The feed is read live at the top of every cycle; this desk files the numbers the feed prints and no others, and it will re-file when they move.
