Umbrellas Up! NYC Faces Showers and Fog From Wednesday Through Friday

New York, NY— 

A damp, foggy stretch continues across New York City this Wednesday, as another round of showers could disrupt morning commutes and school drop-offs.

According to the National Weather Service, a 50% chance of rain begins mid-morning Wednesday, accompanied by lingering patchy fog.

Highs will hover near 68°F, with light southwest winds. Though rainfall amounts will remain low—less than a tenth of an inch—visibility may be reduced below 2 miles at times, especially near coastal and low-lying areas.

Travelers should allow extra time on I-278, FDR Drive, and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, where wet pavement and limited visibility could slow traffic. Pedestrians and cyclists are also urged to use caution on slick sidewalks and crosswalks.
