Rain moves into NYC area, making for wet morning commute Wednesday

New York City and the surrounding area saw a stretch of summer-like days to start October. But as they say, all good things must come to an end. 

We've got a First Alert Weather Day on Wednesday, as rain returns with some weather whiplash. 

Moderate to heavy rain Wednesday morning

Showers worked their way through this morning, with embedded bouts of moderate to heavy rain.

That said, the focus of the alert was during the morning commute, with the expectation that things would be a little slower on the roads.

Thankfully, the rain is starting to exit this afternoon, but don't expect the temperatures to recover — 70° if we're lucky.

Fall temperatures finally set in

It will be much colder tonight, with widespread wind chills in the 40s and 30s by dawn — brrr.

As for tomorrow, it's back to sweater weather, with temperatures struggling to make it to 60°.
