On the Regional Radar for the Northeast, clear skies dominate much of the region, providing a break from any severe weather. In New York and Philadelphia, you’ll notice calm conditions as the area basks in dry weather. As we move farther north, from Syracuse up to Albany, skies remain mostly clear, enhancing that springtime feel. A few clouds are drifting near the coastal areas like Boston, but not causing any concern for precipitation. Meanwhile, Washington and Pittsburgh are also experiencing tranquil and dry weather.
For this evening in New York City, expect a predominantly cloudy sky. Temperatures will hold steady at 44 degrees through 10 PM, dropping slightly to 43 degrees by midnight. Winds will be calm initially, then gradually moving from the south at 5 miles per hour, shifting to the south-southeast at 6 miles per hour as the night progresses. Make sure to have a jacket handy if you’re stepping out late tonight.

Temperatures will see a downward trend by late afternoon as a cold front sweeps through, ushering in cooler air. Keep an eye out for severe weather alerts, particularly in downstate New York and northern Pennsylvania through Monday.”
