NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Spring weather is taking over after weeks of up-and-down temperatures in New York City, gifting residents a beautiful summerlike Saturday—with highs surging past 80 degrees—on an altogether pleasant and warm Easter weekend.
New Yorkers have gone through whiplash with temperatures in the 40s to 70s, but Friday will air on the warmer side with a high of 67, AccuWeather says. It will be a bit cooler on Long Island’s South Shore, where temperatures will hover closer to 60.
It will be partly to mostly sunny, breezy and mild throughout the day, with the gentle winds remaining into the night, which will reach a low of 56 as more clouds congregate.
Saturday will be much warmer with some sun, clouds and breeze as the day hits a peak of 81, AccuWeather forecasts. A spotty late-day thunderstorm is expected north and west of the city, with a shower more likely around the NYC area during the evening.
Easter Sunday will start windy and damp but is set to reach a comfortable high of 68 with some sun by afternoon, AccuWeather says.
Temperatures dip slightly to a high of 58 on Monday before a shower or two at night, but warmer conditions will quickly return on Tuesday with a good deal of sunshine and highs in the low- to mid-70s.
