NEW YORK, N.Y. – Expect a noticeably cooler vibe across the city as the weekend unfolds, with cloud cover thickening early Saturday before a drier, chillier air mass settles in to start the workweek. After a brief stretch of milder temperatures in the 50s today, a northerly breeze will usher in colder, drier air—right on cue for the approach of Halloween week and the season’s first authentic late‑October chill.
Meteorologists at the National Weather Service office in Upton report that clouds build through Saturday, then partially clear late tonight as readings drop into the mid‑40s. Sunshine returns on Sunday, but highs hold near 55°F, and the wind will become more noticeable by evening. Monday brings a brisk feel: highs around 53°F with a steady northeast wind near 10 mph, making it feel more like the upper 40s.
Travelers along I‑95 and the FDR Drive should brace for gusty crosswinds during the Monday and Tuesday morning commutes. Walkers will feel the sharper edge to the air on early outings, and light jackets will be back in rotation for school drop‑offs. If you’re setting up early Halloween decorations or tackling leaf cleanup, Sunday afternoon’s calm, sunny window is the best bet before temperatures dip again Monday night.
Looking ahead, a few light showers could return late Thursday into Friday. It won’t be a washout, but preparations for trick‑or‑treat setups may get a little damp. Overall, the final weekend of October previews a November‑like chill that may linger well into next month.
