Rain will continue with a brief break overnight ahead of more rain that could be heavy by early Sunday morning. Temperatures will remain in the 50s, but the raw feeling will continue into Sunday morning.
Sunday
The heaviest rain arrives Sunday with heavy rain and gusty wind expected early becoming a light rain with less wind later in the day. High temperatures will struggle to hit 60.
Monday - Memorial Day
Memorial Day brings a slight improvement, but clouds remain the dominant feature. Rain is expected in the morning but will become more scattered later in the day. Temperatures trend warmer, climbing into the upper 70s, but the day still leans more partly to mostly cloudy.
Marine Forecast
Boaters and those near the Hudson River and Long Island Sound should expect a difficult stretch of weather this weekend. A steady easterly wind will strengthen, bringing choppy conditions with waves on the Sound building to around 4 to 6 feet and gusts approaching 30 knots at times. Periods of rain and reduced visibility will make navigation more challenging, especially late Saturday into Sunday, and small craft advisories are in effect. Conditions begin to improve on Memorial Day as winds ease, though some lingering showers and unsettled water may persist early before a gradual calming trend.
