NYC Weather Forecast: Rainy Weekend Before Snow Returns

NEW YORK, NY — It'll be a soggy weekend in New York City — rain is expected all day Sunday before a chance of snow returns early next week, the National Weather Service predicts. The wet weather will come with unseasonably warm temperatures in the low 50s.

Sunday will see a high temperature near 52 degrees, with the rain possibly tapering off in the evening. But you'll need to bring an umbrella to Sunday brunch.

After a brief break on a likely sunny Monday, a wintry mix could return Tuesday, with snow in the morning and rain in the afternoon, the weather service predicts.
