The Bronx will enjoy relatively quiet weather through Wednesday, with a mix of sunshine and clouds and temperatures reaching the low 60s Tuesday afternoon.

Winds will not be as breezy, although occasional gusts near 20 mph will remain noticeable.

Tonight turns mostly clear and chilly, with temperatures dropping into the low 40s. Wednesday looks to be the pick of the week before a potentially unsettled stretch develops.

There is increasing agreement that rain will begin developing across the Bronx early Thursday morning. Periods of heavier rain and gusty downpours are expected Thursday afternoon and evening, potentially impacting the evening commute.

Wind gusts between 25 and 35 mph are possible, while rainfall totals across the region are forecast to range from 0.5 to 1.5 inches throughout the event.

Some lingering rain could continue into Friday morning before conditions gradually improve. While a few wet snowflakes cannot be ruled out across far northern and western locations, including higher elevations of the Hudson Valley and western Connecticut, snow is not expected in the Bronx.

Accumulating snowfall is not anticipated anywhere in the immediate metro area. Minor coastal impacts are possible, but significant concerns are not expected at this time.

Saturday is trending drier as the system moves away, but much colder air will follow. Temperatures are expected to run 5 to 15 degrees below normal beginning Friday afternoon and continuing into next week.

Afternoon highs will generally settle into the upper 40s and low 50s, with overnight temperatures dropping closer to freezing.
