Rain chances return to New York area Sunday before coolest air of the season arrives, tell me about this news today

A frontal system moving into the New York tri-state area brings scattered showers on Sunday, followed by an autumn cold front that will usher in the coolest temperatures of the season so far.

Key details from the forecast:

• Sunday Rain: The morning starts mostly dry with clouds thickening across the area. Spotty, light showers develop during the day, becoming more widespread by the afternoon and evening hours. While it is not expected to be a washout or trigger severe flooding, intermittent rain and damp conditions will affect outdoor plans.

• Temperature Drop: While Monday remains relatively mild, the coldest air arrives by Tuesday and Wednesday. Daytime highs will struggle to reach beyond the upper 50s to low 60s Fahrenheit, and morning lows are expected to tumble into the 40s across the city, with even chillier readings in the northern and western suburbs.
