Hello NYC! Meteorologist Amy Freeze here bringing you the latest weather patterns to watch this April. As we transition through the week, expect a range of temperatures and conditions from city to city. Enjoy the clear skies and mild temperatures today, but don’t be caught off guard by the showers and thunderstorms on the horizon. Keep track of temperature variations and prepare for the wet conditions with gusty winds. Remember, the UV index remains high—sun protection is a must! Stay tuned and stay prepared. A glance at the Northeast Regional Radar shows light rain around Albany, moving northeastward. Syracuse is experiencing spotty showers as patches of precipitation drift in from the Great Lakes. Most of the region, including cities like New York and Boston, enjoys clearer skies, with no active weather systems. A thin band of rain is just beginning to develop near Pittsburgh, inching its way toward Scranton. The majority of the Northeast remains dry and calm under a predominantly clear sky.
New York City this afternoon brings a partly cloudy sky, with temperatures starting at 72 degrees around 3 PM. Winds will be mild from the west at 3 miles per hour. By 5 PM, temperatures dip slightly to 69 degrees, with southwesterly winds maintaining calm conditions. Expect clear skies by 7 PM.
In the Northeast today, we’re seeing some impressive high temperatures. Pittsburgh is leading the way with a warm 86 degrees, while Scranton follows closely behind at 81 degrees. Further east, Philadelphia also hits 81 degrees, bringing summer-like warmth to the region. New York City will see a pleasant high of 74 degrees, while Albany reaches 79. However, Boston will feel a bit cooler at 66 degrees, and Portland is even chillier with a high of just 56 degrees. This stark contrast between the warming trend in western areas and the cooler conditions in the northeast highlights some interesting weather dynamics at play.

High temperatures for tomorrow in the Northeast are expected to be significantly above average, driven by warm air moving in from the south.

Boston will be cooler at 66 degrees, and Portland expects a chilly 55.
A wet and stormy day is ahead for the Northeast tomorrow, with a cold front pushing through the region. Expect showers and scattered thunderstorms from Boston to New York City, with the potential for heavy rainfall and gusty winds. As the front passes, temperatures will dip slightly, bringing cooler conditions by evening. Keep an eye out for localized flooding in areas with poor drainage, especially around Albany and Scranton. Friday sees clearing skies, but the cooler trend will persist into the weekend.
The UV index in New York City will be high at 7 for both today and tomorrow, with a burn time of about 20 minutes in direct sunlight.
