This Afternoon A cold front will move through New York City today, bringing periods of rain for the afternoon. Rain will generally be light to moderate, but a brief downpour or even a rumble of thunder is possible. Rainfall totals will likely range between a quarter and a half inch. Conditions will start to improve later in the day as the front moves out.

Tonight into Midweek After the rain ends, drier air moves in and much of the week will be quiet across New York City. Skies will gradually clear, and aside from a small chance of a brief shower late Monday into early Tuesday, most of this period stays dry.

Midweek Temperatures will turn cooler behind today’s cold front, with the chilliest day likely on Wednesday when highs only reach the mid to upper 40s. It will feel more like early spring, especially with a light breeze at times.

Late Week into the Weekend Temperatures will begin to warm back up by Thursday and could climb above normal by Friday into the weekend. While there’s still some uncertainty, the trend points toward milder conditions returning to New York City.
