NYC Weather: Hazardous Outlook As 60mph Winds, Rain Expected

NEW YORK CITY — A hazardous weather outlook has been issued for New York City with heavy rain, thunderstorms and wind gusts as high as 60 mph in the forecast.

The wild weather is expected to follow a weirdly warm Saturday morning with temperatures set to reach 64 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

The balmy, spring-like hit of warmth comes after relatively frigid air swirled around the city for most of the week.

But the hazardous outlook goes into place at 3 p.m. and lasts until 4 a.m. Sunday.

"Heavier showers and thunderstorms this evening could produce damaging wind gusts to near 60 mph," the NWS said.

The warm weather won't last either. Temperatures are expected to return to highs of 45 degrees on Sunday.
