NYC Weekend Weather – Sep 6, 2019

Hurricane Dorian’s center passes well southeast of the city to start the weekend. Because of its large and expanding size, it will still influence our weather. Once Dorian passes, we’ll see improving conditions though cooler temperatures will be the rule with Canadian high pressure taking over.

Rest of today – mostly cloudy with isolated showers, more likely during the late afternoon and evening hours. It’s difficult to say even now whether the outermost rain bands from Dorian actually manage to hit the city, and even if they do, it’s also unclear how intense they will be. High temperatures in the low-70s. Overnight lows in the low-60s with cool, northeasterly onshore flow due to the cyclonic circulation around Dorian. For more info, see this detailed forecast.
