According to ABC7 New York, cold rain and strong winds will continue across the New York area on Friday (the 13th), bringing in the coldest air of the fall so far.

According to ABC7 New York (WABC), cold rain and strong winds will continue across the New York area on Friday, bringing in the coldest air of the fall so far. Amid gusts from the northeast, early-morning temperatures fell to around 42 degrees Fahrenheit (about 6 degrees Celsius), and the daytime high is expected to stay around 40 degrees Fahrenheit (about 4 degrees Celsius). Because of the strong winds, wind chills are forecast to be in the 30s Fahrenheit (minus 1 to 4 degrees Celsius) all day.
Temperatures during the morning commute are expected to stay above freezing (32 degrees Fahrenheit, 0 degrees Celsius), so most roads will likely be wet. However, in areas farther north and west of New York City, a thin coating of snow or slippery patches may form on cold road surfaces. Rain will be the main story in New York City, while nearby suburbs may see some flurries. The Bronx is the most likely place in the city to see flurries, but no snow will accumulate in the city. The Catskills could get 1 to 3 inches of snow (about 2.5 to 7.5 centimeters).
Rain and snow will be steadiest through early Friday afternoon before tapering off. Areas close to New York City could see another one-third of an inch to 1 inch of rain (about 8 to 25 millimeters). Rain or snow showers will linger for a while Friday night before skies clear.
Winds will stay strong over the weekend. Saturday will be a mix of clouds and sun, with rain or snow showers possible in places north and west of the city. Highs on Saturday and Sunday will be in the mid-to-upper 40s Fahrenheit (about 7 to 9 degrees Celsius), with wind chills in the 30s, making them the coldest days since March. Sunday will be sunny but chilly, with a forecast high of 48 degrees Fahrenheit (about 9 degrees Celsius). Temperatures will recover slowly into early next week, rising to around 59 degrees Fahrenheit (about 15 degrees Celsius) on Wednesday.
