New York City will have a rainy, chilly week

New York is coming off a wet weekend of record precipitation, but the rain won’t let up just yet.

The metro area can expect showers throughout Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. The agency says thunderstorms are not likely. And spring is on pause with temperatures remaining in the mid 50s today. Temperatures will go as low as 46 degrees tonight – the coldest it’s expected to get all week, according to the agency.

And it’s going to be like that through Thursday, forecasters predict.

Wednesday will bring showers starting in the afternoon that will continue through the night. Then Thursday will be rainy during the day with cloudy conditions remaining. A low of 48 degrees is expected at night.

Any concern over rainfall deficits for the year have “largely been eliminated across the region” after the washouts, the agency said on twitter.

Some relief is expected Friday, when the sun emerges and temperatures will reach a high of 59 degrees, according to the agency. And sunshine is expected to remain throughout the weekend. Forecasters predict a high of 71 degrees on Sunday.
