AccuWeather: Showers S&E, clearing
AccuWeather forecast for NYC, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Thursday brings a noticeable improvement. Early clouds and any leftover showers give way to breaks of sunshine by midday. Expect a cooler feel, with highs reaching the low 60s.
Friday follows a similar pattern, though even a bit cooler, with temperatures again hovering in the low 60s under a mix of sun and clouds. While most areas stay dry, a stray shower cannot be ruled out, primarily north and west.
Air quality improves during this stretch, though pollen levels remain high, and the UV index climbs into the moderate-to-high range.
The next notable system arrives on Saturday, bringing a period of steady rain, especially from late morning into mid-afternoon. Rain totals could range from a quarter to a half inch. Conditions may begin to dry out later in the day, offering some improvement for evening plans.
Mother's Day looks warmer, with temperatures climbing into the 70s. The day starts off dry with a mix of sun and clouds, making it favorable for outdoor plans through mid-afternoon. However, another system approaches late in the day, bringing the chance for showers by evening or overnight.
Looking beyond the weekend, unsettled conditions linger into Monday as another coastal system may steer rain back into the region. Improvement follows on Tuesday with more pleasant conditions, before clouds-and possibly another shower threat - return by midweek.
