NYC Weekend Weather – Oct 16, 2020

A slow-moving cold front will bring rain to start the weekend from today into Saturday morning as several waves of low pressure move along this frontal boundary. Much colder air sweeps in behind this cold front with highs around 60ºF Saturday as high pressure builds with skies clearing. Overnight lows in outlying suburbs may be close to freezing, with frost developing. High pressure remains in place into early next week, maintaining dry weather. With the position of the high moving to the northeast, some warmer southerly return flow should help temperatures rebound into the mid-60s.

Rest of today – cloudy, with periods of rain, moderate at times. High temperatures peaking early in the day in the low-60s, dropping through the day. Overnight lows cooling off into the mid-40s as rain continues until perhaps 1-2am.
