New York City summer has one last gift to bestow: beautiful weather for most of this Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n
According to the National Weather Service, skies will be mostly dry and temperatures will be perfect for all outdoor activities from Saturday through Monday. Though Saturday night will bring a small chance of scattered showers.<\/p>\n
Starting on Friday, meteorologist Jim Connolly said cold fronts will bring drier, slightly cooler air to the city, bringing temperatures down to the lower 80s.<\/p>\n
Connolly said Saturday\u2019s light precipitation won\u2019t be anything close to a washout. \u201c\u200aWe’re not expecting widespread rain or rain all day, just a few showers in the afternoon and at night,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
After that, Sunday and Monday will be dry, with temperatures in the mid-70s, according to the forecast \u2014 just slightly below average for this time of year.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a far cry from the chilly, rainy weather<\/a> that gripped the five boroughs on Memorial Day weekend this year, leading to a soggy and damp summer kickoff.<\/p>\n So hit the beach<\/a>, find a city pool<\/a> and soak up the end-of-summer celebrations, like Monday\u2019s West Indian American Day Parade<\/a>. Be sure to pack the sunscreen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York City summer has one last gift to bestow: beautiful weather for most of this Labor Day…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":338212,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[9,24,63,134,136,135],"class_list":["post-338211","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-staten-island","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-staten-island","tag-staten-island-headlines","tag-staten-island-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=338211"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338211\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/338212"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=338211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=338211"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=338211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
