Weather NYC: Partly Cloudy and 58 at Midday, High 59 — Wednesday Stays Dry for the Parade, Thursday's Rain Turns Colder
The station feed holds Monday at 58.2 under partly cloudy skies, keeps Tuesday warmest at 62 and Wednesday dry at zero percent for the parade — and revises the week's back half down: rain Thursday at 57, drizzle and 40s by Friday.
Midday Monday is the day the feed promised by late morning, holding. The station's live feed reads 58.2 degrees under partly cloudy skies (code 2), feeling like 47.1 in the breeze, on the way to a Monday high of 59.1 and a low of 44, with the chance of precipitation at 4 percent. The afternoon stays dry and bright between clouds — the best stretch of the week, shared with the two days that follow it.
Those two days matter beyond the thermometer. Tuesday is the warm day, overcast with a high of 62.4 and a low of 41.5 and a 2 percent rain chance. Wednesday — Veterans Day, with the 107th parade marching up Fifth Avenue from 12:30 p.m. — reads overcast and dry on this feed: a high of 59.9, a low of 44.1 and a precipitation chance of zero percent. On the numbers the feed is printing now, the parade marches under grey but dry skies, and nothing in the week's first half threatens it.
The revision is in the back half, and it is colder than this desk filed this morning. Thursday is now a rain day outright (code 63), with a high of 57 and a mild low of 49.7 and the precipitation chance at 69 percent. Friday follows with drizzle (code 53) at 49.7 and 39.9 — the week's first low in the 30s — also at 69 percent. Saturday stays the coldest day, drizzle at 46.1 and 40.1 with its rain chance down at 23 percent, and Sunday is overcast and cold at 47.6 and 41.3. The feed is read live at the top of every cycle; this desk files the numbers the feed prints and no others, and the Thursday-Friday turn is the one to watch.
