NYC Weather Forecast: Rain To Interrupt Week Of Sunshine

NEW YORK, NY — A rainy Valentine's Day night could interrupt an otherwise sunny week in New York City, the National Weather Service predicts. The wet weather, though, is expected to bring springlike temperatures close to 60 degrees.

Clouds will clear by Monday evening, paving the way for a sunny but chilly Tuesday with a high near 36 and a warmer Valentine's Day Wednesday with a high near 48.

Rain could start falling late Wednesday night. Up to a quarter of an inch could hit the ground after 11 p.m. More rain is expected throughout the day Thursday, when the temperature could climb to an unseasonably warm 59 degrees.

Friday will bring clouds and a high around 53 degrees before sunshine and colder temperatures return for the weekend.
