EXPANDED WEEKEND WEATHER: Rainstorm to Affect Tri-State Area Thursday and Friday

BY: Yaker Biegeleisen 

A slow-moving storm is coming into the Brooklyn area around 1:00 this afternoon. It will bring freezing rain all Thursday afternoon and evening, with remaining showers continuing until Friday afternoon. 

New York City may see some snowflakes over this time, but no accumulation is expected for the area. 

Temperatures will be in the low 40's during the day, dropping into the upper thirties at night. 

As we get closer to Shabbos, this weather pattern is expected to clear up. 

Shabbos will see clear and sunny conditions, with temperatures dropping somewhat, ahead of an even colder week next week. 

TRAVEL ALERT: Chaveirim would like Erev Shabbos travelers en route to the Upstate areas, including Monsey, Monroe, or Upstate New York, to take extreme caution as conditions on the road are expected to be messy and dangerous on Thursday night. Travelers should also leave ample time to get to their destination in time for Shabbos.
