AccuWeather: Comfy, spotty PM storms
AccuWeather forecast for NYC, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
NEW YORK (WABC) -- While Friday will still be mild, the heat eases noticeably. Highs trend closer to 80 degrees, and more importantly, humidity drops. That change alone will make it feel far more comfortable outdoors.
With much drier air moving in and less atmospheric instability, only a few spotty afternoon showers are expected. An isolated thunder shower is possible, though nothing severe is anticipated.
Air quality will remain moderate, and overall, it's shaping up to be a pleasant day with a mix of sunshine and clouds.
If you have outdoor plans, Saturday is the pick of the weekend. Temperatures hover in the upper 60s, humidity stays low, and skies may brighten at times despite some passing clouds.
Sunday tells a very different story. Clouds thicken early, and steady rain develops during the morning hours before tapering to lighter showers in the afternoon. Temperatures begin in the 50s but steadily fall, potentially ending the day in the 40s. By Sunday night, many suburbs drop into the 30s, making it feel downright chilly for mid-April.
Behind the front, cooler air settles in. Monday stays brisk, with highs only near 51 degrees, feeling more like the 40s with gusty winds. In higher elevations, a stray snowflake can't be ruled out.
Temperatures rebound gradually by Tuesday as sunshine returns, pushing highs closer to 60 degrees. Wednesday continues that milder trend, though another step back toward cooler conditions may arrive by Thursday.
