The rain continues overnight until about 8 am Saturday, at which point we're mostly dry for the rest of the weekend, except between the hours of 3 - 6 pm Saturday afternoon, when there's a 45% chance of some small bit of rain. The temperature highs will hit 70 all weekend, but not stay there long, rising and descending from around 60 on Friday and Saturday, and around the mid 50's on Sunday. The humidity will be in the 60% range on Friday, descending to the 50% range on Saturday and descending further to about 40% on Sunday. The winds will be 5 - 10 mph Friday, rising to 10 - 15 mph on Saturday, and then levelling off a bit at 7 - 13 mph on Sunday. Generally, it's a nice brisk Spring weekend.

The photo above or at right was taken earlier this month, at Symposium Greek restaurant near Columbia University, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. It's an authentic Greek restaurant, that can whisk you away to Greece for a few short hours, without the hassle of days of travel, and airfare.
