A line of scattered rain showers can be observed moving through parts of upstate New York, affecting areas around Syracuse and Albany, extending towards western Massachusetts. Northeastern Pennsylvania, including Scranton, is seeing some light precipitation at this time.

Farther north, Portland maintains overcast conditions as rain progresses eastward.
Starting off your Monday morning in New York City, temperatures will be at 58 degrees at 8 AM with clear, sunny skies. By 10 AM, you can expect temperatures to rise to a pleasant 65 degrees. Winds are consistent from the north-northwest at 4 miles per hour throughout the morning. As we approach midday, clouds will begin to form slightly, with temperatures reaching 69 degrees by noon, mostly sunny conditions will dominate the skyline.
Tomorrow Philadelphia could see a high of 75. Scranton’s afternoon high will be around 71 degrees, and Pittsburgh will enjoy a comfortable 73. In contrast, Boston and Portland will lag behind with highs only hitting 65 degrees. Syracuse is set for a mild 69 degrees, making for a pleasant day across much of the Northeast.
A front sweeping across the Northeast will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms, particularly from Syracuse to Scranton, moving eastward to New York and Boston later in the day. Temperatures will hover in the mid to upper 60s, creating a cool start to the day, with a potential warming trend as clouds clear late in the afternoon. There is a slight risk of storms becoming severe, especially in the afternoon, with brief periods of heavy rain expected. Wind gusts might reach up to 40 mph, potentially causing minor impacts. As the front clears, pleasant weather settles in with dry conditions anticipated from Philadelphia through Washington over the next 48 hours.
