Dry Weather Streak Continues as New York Flips the Calendar to November

Manhattan's run of rain-free days reached 15 on Sunday, November 1, with high pressure parked over the region keeping skies bright. A sixteenth consecutive dry day was expected Monday, and meteorologist Christopher Gress at PIX11 said dry conditions should hold through at least midweek.

Sunday night brought chilly temperatures under mostly clear skies. Overnight lows across the five boroughs and Long Island stayed mainly in the 40s, while areas north and west of the city dipped into the 30s.

Monday through Wednesday looked considerably milder as winds shifted to the southwest, lifting afternoon highs into the upper 60s and low 70s under partly to mostly sunny skies.

The dry stretch is forecast to end Thursday afternoon when a cold front sweeps through and delivers a few showers. Some additional wet weather remains possible on Friday as well, with afternoon highs dropping back to the 60s.

Gress, a New Jersey native from Bayonne, joined PIX11 in 2020 as a weather producer.
