AccuWeather: Damp start, brightening
AccuWeather forecast for NYC, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
NEW YORK (WABC) -- While it will still feel damp for the Thursday morning commute, conditions will steadily improve.
As we head through the day, skies will begin to brighten, and while an isolated shower can't be ruled out, especially if we get a bit of sunshine, much of the afternoon should trend drier. High temperatures will reach around 63 degrees, making for a cool but manageable spring day.
As we turn the calendar to May, the weather will feel a bit more like early April. Friday looks cool but decent, setting the stage for the first weekend of May, which isn't all that bad overall.
On Saturday, we'll be brushed by a coastal low. Expect a mix of clouds and sun, with temperatures likely stuck in the 50s. Any real rain threat is focused later in the day and at night, mainly for eastern Long Island and along the Jersey Shore, though an isolated passing shower can't be ruled out elsewhere.
Sunday shapes up as the better half of the weekend. Clouds give way to more sunshine, it turns breezy, and temperatures climb into the low 60s.
Looking ahead, Monday stands out as a really nice day, with highs in the upper 60s. If showers on Tuesday stay confined to the morning, we could reach 70 degrees. If not, we'll likely get there on Wednesday.
Overall, after a wet start, we're heading into a brighter stretch, just with a cooler-than-normal feel for early May. Stay dry tonight, and enjoy the ride.
