Enjoy the sun while you can because it looks like Ernesto, or what will remain of Ernesto, is going to give us some clouds on Friday and possibly heavy rain and winds on Saturday. It is too soon for Gothamist to have confidence in the details, but Labor Day weekend is beginning to look like a total washout, with Saturday looking especially unpleasant.

In case anyone has forgotten what fall temperatures are supposed to be, today is your reminder. Today's high and low temperatures will be a degree or two below the November 11th normals of 54 and 42 degrees. Tomorrow will start off chilly, but we'll be back above normal in the afternoon.

As for New York City weather, showers will develop later tomorrow, but like the postal service, rain or shine, we'll party on. We will just need galoshes. more ›
