Weather NYC: Sunday Closes Clear at 54 — a Dry, Grey Week, Then Rain Thursday
Sunday ended mainly clear at 54.3 degrees after a 60.8-degree afternoon, and the week ahead is dry until it isn't: overcast and rain-free through Wednesday, rain showers Thursday, drizzle Friday, and next Saturday the coldest day on the board at 48.
Sunday is closing the way the weekend promised. The station's weather feed, read this cycle, puts New York at 54.3 degrees — feeling like 46.8 in the evening air — under condition code 1, mainly clear, at the end of a day that topped out at 60.8 with light drizzle in the day's code and a precipitation probability of just 16 percent. The night falls to 45.9, and the coat that felt optional at noon is not optional now.
The first half of the week is grey and dry, with the cold in the nights. Monday is overcast at 56.6 and 43.1, with a 4 percent precipitation probability; Tuesday is the week's mildest day, overcast at 60.9, but its night is the coldest of the stretch at 41.2; Wednesday stays overcast at 59.3 and 49.3 with no rain in the feed at all. Veterans Day on Wednesday is, on this read, a dry parade: overcast skies, a high near 59, and nothing falling.
The rain arrives at the week's end. Thursday turns to rain showers — code 81 — at 56.8 and a mild 52.6, with a 67 percent precipitation probability, and Friday follows with drizzle at 56.7 and 69 percent. Then the bottom drops out of the temperatures: Saturday is overcast at 48.0 and 42.4, the coldest day on the board by a wide margin. The week's shape, in one line: dry through Wednesday, wet Thursday and Friday, cold by Saturday. This desk's next weather file reads the Monday-morning feed.
