AccuWeather: Bookend showers
AccuWeather forecast for NYC, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Early morning rain is expected Thursday as a line of broken showers, including the possibility of an isolated downpour, moves through the region.
The wet weather should clear by midmorning, allowing for breaks of sunshine during the afternoon. It will be breezy, warm and humid, with highs reaching the upper 70s. A few spotty showers or an isolated thunderstorm could develop later in the day and into the evening, but coverage is expected to be limited.
Winds will increase out of the southwest and west at 15 to 20 mph, with gusts up to 30 mph possible. Boaters should be aware of a Small Craft Advisory, with waves building to 4 to 6 feet. Beachgoers should also use caution, as a very high rip current risk is in effect despite improving weather conditions.
Thursday night into early Friday brings another chance of rain, with the steadiest precipitation expected across central and southern New Jersey. New York City sits near the northern edge of the system, making rainfall amounts less certain, though the city could see a period of rain before daybreak Friday.
Any lingering clouds or isolated showers Friday morning should give way to increasing sunshine during the afternoon. Conditions will become less humid, with temperatures climbing into the upper 70s.
Looking ahead to the weekend, Saturday appears to be the better of the two days. Humidity levels will be lower, though high clouds may filter the sunshine at times. Most daylight hours should stay dry, with the greatest chance for rain arriving Saturday night into the early hours of Sunday.
Sunday is expected to feature a mix of clouds and occasional sunshine, along with the chance for a scattered shower or thunderstorm. The day will not be a washout, but humidity levels will increase once again and continue into early next week.
The unsettled pattern lingers into Monday with warm and humid conditions. Another late-day thunderstorm is possible Tuesday, with additional chances for showers continuing into Wednesday as temperatures remain above average for September. Forecast highs will generally stay in the upper 70s.
