Weather AccuWeather: Pleasant for the Veterans Day Parade, and tracking a storm AccuWeather forecast for NYC, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut The Loop: Your live look at weather and traffic By Eyewitness News Share NEW YORK (WABC) -- After a stretch of pleasant weather across the Tri-State area, the forecast remains favorable through Veterans Day before a storm system brings a dramatic change later this week. Wednesday will be the pick of the week, featuring sunshine mixed with some high clouds and temperatures climbing into the lower 60s. It will be a comfortable afternoon for Veterans Day events, including the Veterans Day Parade, with lighter winds than recent days. The weather pattern turns unsettled beginning Thursday as a developing coastal storm approaches the Northeast. Rain is expected to spread across the region during the day, becoming steadier at times. Temperatures will remain in the 50s, but conditions will deteriorate through Thursday night and Friday. Friday is shaping up to be the most impactful day of the storm, with periods of rain, brisk easterly winds, and the potential for minor coastal flooding.Colder air wrapping into the system could allow snow to mix in across higher elevations north and west of New York City. The greatest chance for accumulating snow is expected in the Catskills and Poconos, where 1 to 3 inches may fall in the highest elevations. Elsewhere across the Hudson Valley and parts of northwest New Jersey, a few flakes could mix with the rain, though little to no accumulation is expected. Rainfall totals from the storm are forecast to range from a half-inch to an inch and a half for most locations, with isolated amounts approaching 2 inches if bands of heavier precipitation develop Friday. Wet roads and minor coastal flooding are expected to be the primary concerns across the region. Conditions gradually improve over the weekend as the storm pulls away. Saturday will remain blustery, with gusty winds and the possibility of a passing shower or flurry in higher elevations. Sunday looks brighter but cool, with highs near 50 degrees. A slow warming trend is expected early next week, accompanied by mainly dry weather. THE 7-DAY FORECAST Wednesday Pleasant for the Veterans Day Parade.
