Recent National Weather Service and private model consensus points to an overnight minimum in central New York City near 69–72 °F on August 28, driven by light west-to-northwest winds, increasing cloud cover after daytime heating reaches the low-to-mid 80s, and residual moisture from the prior evening’s storms limiting radiative cooling. These conditions produce modest overnight temperature drops typical for late August under weak high pressure, with urban heat island effects keeping Central Park readings several degrees above rural suburbs. Model spread centers on the precise low, reflecting small differences in boundary-layer mixing and cloud timing that traders are pricing through the clustered 70–73 °F bins.
