After one last taste of summer on Friday, NYC’s weekend weather is taking a noticeable turn toward fall. Temperatures reached the low 80s on Friday, before setting the stage for a much cooler Saturday.
The National Weather Service is forecasting mostly sunny skies and temperatures around 70°F today, followed by an even cooler Sunday in the mid-60s with a chance of afternoon showers.
Here’s more on what the NWS is forecasting for NYC this weekend, including what to expect for Saturday and Sunday and when you may want to keep an umbrella handy.
Saturday will feel a lot more like fall
After Friday’s summer-like temperatures, Saturday will bring a cooldown, with highs around 70°F and mostly sunny skies.
A cooler northerly breeze will add to the crisp fall feel, making it a promising day for outdoor plans around the city.
Sunday will be cooler with showers possible
Sunday will bring another step toward fall, with temperatures only reaching the mid-60s. The NWS is forecasting mostly cloudy skies with a chance of showers beginning in the afternoon.
If you have outdoor plans, Saturday looks like the more straightforward option, while Sunday may call for a little more flexibility depending on how the forecast develops. Happy weekend, NYC!
