Weather NYC: Clear and 51 Tonight, Feeling Like 43 — Tuesday Is the Week's Warmest at 62, and Thursday Has Turned Warm and Wet
The station feed reads a clear sky at 51.1 degrees for Monday night, feeling like 43.4 in the wind. Tonight bottoms at 45.4, Tuesday is dry and the week's warmest at 61.8, Wednesday stays dry for the Veterans Day Parade — and Thursday's system has warmed up: drizzle, a high of 60.2 and a low of just 52.3.
Monday night is clear, cold-feeling and dry across the five boroughs. The station's live feed reads 51.1 degrees under a cloudless sky (condition code 0) with a feels-like of 43.4 — an eight-degree wind tax on anyone still out in it — and a precipitation chance of just 4 percent for what remains of the day that topped out at 59.2.
Tonight's low is 45.4, and then the week takes its warm step. Tuesday is the warmest day in the forecast — high 61.8, low 41.9, overcast but effectively dry at a 1 percent rain chance — and Wednesday holds dry for the Veterans Day Parade up Fifth Avenue: high 59.5, low 41.1, and a zero in the precipitation column.
Thursday remains the turn, but it has changed character since this desk's evening reading. The system now codes as drizzle (code 55) rather than steady rain, and it arrives warm: a high of 60.2 and an unusually mild low of 52.3, with the precipitation chance holding at 68 percent. Friday follows the same damp pattern colder — drizzle at 68 percent, high 52.3, low 40 — and the weekend runs cold and grey, Saturday at 43.8 and Sunday at 47.2.
The practical read for the night: the coat for the ride home is about wind, not rain. Tuesday is the week's outdoor day, the parade marches dry on Wednesday, and Thursday's weather is a warm wet rather than a cold one — plan the umbrella, skip the heavy layer.
