Weather NYC: Clear and 49 Tonight, Feeling Like 43 — Tuesday Is the Week's Warmest, and Thursday Is the Rain Day
The week has arranged itself kindly. Tonight is clear and cold, Tuesday is the warmest and driest full day on the board at 62, Wednesday stays dry for the Veterans Day Parade — and the rain minds its manners until Thursday.
At the evening read, New York sat at 49.5 degrees under clear skies, feeling like 43.3 in the wind, on its way to an overnight low of 46.5. It is a coat-and-gloves night but not a harsh one — no precipitation anywhere in tonight's column, and the clear sky that made Monday's afternoon bright is holding through the night hours.
Tuesday is the day to use. The feed puts Tuesday's high at 61.8 — call it 62 — under overcast skies with the rain chance at 2%, effectively zero: the warmest day of the week, and dry from end to end. Wednesday cools to 57.9 but stays completely dry, which is the forecast the Veterans Day Parade needed; the parade steps off at 12:30 p.m. on Fifth Avenue under a 0% rain chance on the current board.
Thursday is when the week turns. The high holds near 60 but the rain chance jumps to 68%, and Friday keeps the same 68% with a colder high of 52.3 — the week's back half is wet, and its final day, Saturday, is colder still at 43.8. Whatever the week asks of you outdoors, Tuesday and Wednesday are when it asks least.
Tonight, then: clear, 49 falling to 46, wind making it feel like the low 40s. Tomorrow: the good day. Dress for the night, plan for Tuesday.
