STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Sunday has brought more rain to New York City, and while the sky may look dismal for the moment, rain shouldn’t impact the Halloween forecast.
The rainy weekend streak lives, and for the eighth in a row, rain haunts the streets of New York City on at least one day of the weekend. Like a masked slasher that won’t stay down, this pattern of rain seems unyielding, consistently dampening any weekend outings.
