In the Northeast today, the regional radar displays a line of rain stretching from Washington D.C. up through New York City and onto Boston, where precipitation is heaviest. Rain is making its way eastward, affecting Philadelphia and extending into Albany. Farther up into Portland, snow is currently falling, indicating a wintry mix. While Syracuse and Buffalo enjoy clear skies at the moment, areas like Scranton are dealing with cloud cover as rain moves closer.
“New York City will see a brisk start to your morning with temperatures at 44 degrees by 7 AM under mostly sunny skies. By 9 AM, temperatures rise to 48 degrees with a western wind at 9 miles per hour and partly cloudy conditions. As you head toward late morning, expect sunny conditions and a temperature reaching 51 degrees, with winds continuing from the west at 9 miles per hour.”
High temperatures for the Northeast tomorrow are showing some variability as spring continues to make its presence known. In New York City, expect a high of 58 degrees, which is slightly above average for this time of year.

A cold front from the Great Lakes sweeps into the Northeast by late Tuesday morning, bringing widespread rain across the region, with heavier showers farther south in cities like Philadelphia and New York City. Expect winds to strengthen, especially along the coast, with gusts potentially reaching up to 30 mph in some areas.

In areas like Buffalo and Syracuse, the precipitation may transition to light snow as the colder air moves in.
The UV index in New York City will be low on Monday at 1, thanks to cloud cover and potential rain storms, which will keep exposure risks minimal. On Tuesday, the UV index rises to 5, indicating a moderate level of sun strength.
