Weather NYC: Monday Is Overcast at 57 After a Clear 51-Degree Night — Dry Until Thursday's Rain
The city starts Monday under clearing skies at 51 degrees, turns overcast with a high of 57, and stays dry through Wednesday — before rain arrives Thursday and a colder weekend follows.
New York City starts the week clear and cold. The station feed read 50.6 degrees under clear skies in the overnight hours, feeling like 42.4 with the wind, and Monday turns overcast with a high of 57.6 and a low of 43.1 — a grey but dry start, with the chance of precipitation put at just 4 percent. It is coat weather rather than storm weather: the kind of November Monday where the cold is in the air you walk through, not in anything falling from it.
The dry stretch holds through midweek. Tuesday stays overcast with a high of 60.9 and a low of 41.2, the week's mildest afternoon, and Wednesday — Veterans Day, with the parade on Fifth Avenue — is overcast again at 59.0, with the low easing to 49.5 and no precipitation expected. Anyone marching or watching on Wednesday is, on this feed, planning around grey skies rather than rain.
The change comes Thursday, when the feed turns to rain — code 65, a high of 59.0 and a 67 percent precipitation probability — and Friday stays wet at 54.5 with a 68 percent chance. The weekend then turns colder: Saturday's high is just 47.8, the week's coldest afternoon, with a low of 42.7, and Sunday is overcast at 45.8. The shape of the week, on the feed's own numbers, is three dry grey days, two wet ones, and a cold weekend behind them — and this desk updates from the feed each cycle as those numbers move.
