Welcome to your detailed forecast for NYC and the Northeast as we navigate through a week of dynamic weather changes. From evening showers to a significant dip in overnight temperatures, prepare for everything. Our guide includes safety tips and what to expect day-by-day. Don’t let the weather catch you off guard!
On the Regional Radar, the Northeast is seeing a cluster of rain and storms impacting parts of New England, particularly around Boston and extending towards Portland. Heavy showers are pressing in from the east over Boston, while light rain spreads across Albany. Syracuse remains mostly dry, but clouds are increasing in the area, suggesting potential showers later. Southwest of Pennsylvania and west of Pittsburgh, isolated thunderstorms are developing, hinting at a wet afternoon in that region.
Scattered thunderstorms will cover New York City this evening. Temperatures will remain warm, hovering around 77 degrees at 9 PM and rising slightly to 78 degrees by 11 PM. Winds will stay light from the west-southwest, maintaining a speed of 5 miles per hour. Keep your umbrella handy as isolated thunderstorms turn scattered again by 1 AM.
Tonight, expect low temperatures across the Northeast to drop significantly. New York City will see a low of 72 degrees, while temperatures dip to 63 in Scranton and 65 in Syracuse. Boston will chill to 69 degrees, and further west, Pittsburgh is expected to cool down to 65 degrees.
Tomorrow in the Northeast, expect a warm day with high temperatures reaching 87 degrees in Albany and 85 degrees for both New York City and Boston. Scranton will see a high of 85 degrees, while Pittsburgh is slightly warmer at 86 degrees. Buffalo will be a touch cooler with a forecast of 80 degrees.
A cold front moving through the Northeast will bring scattered showers and the potential for thunderstorms, especially from Philadelphia to Boston. By Tuesday evening, expect heavier rain bands as they approach New York City, potentially impacting the evening commute. Temperatures will remain cool with highs in the mid-70s, but a brief warm-up is expected tomorrow ahead of the front. Watch for gusty winds and localized flooding, particularly in low-lying or urban areas. The front should move offshore by late Wednesday, leaving behind clearer skies and pleasant conditions as cooler air filters in.
The UV index in New York City is high at 8 today, with a burn time of just 17 minutes, so make sure to apply sunscreen and take breaks in the shade. Looking ahead to tomorrow, the UV index decreases to a moderate 5, allowing for a longer burn time of 27 minutes—still a good idea to stay sun-smart!
