🌧️ Scattered showers are possible across NYC today, with rain becoming more likely overnight into Friday. Temperatures will reach the low 70s today, with wind gusts up to 25 mph. ☔ Friday could bring periods of light to moderate rain, with the greatest chance for heavier rainfall in southeastern parts of the city. Rain is expected to taper off by Friday evening. 🍂 Fallen leaves may block storm drains, causing ponding on streets and in low-lying areas. Allow extra time for travel and avoid walking or driving through flooded areas. 📲 Stay informed as conditions change. Text NOTIFYNYC to 692-692 for free emergency alerts.

Most nights are ordinary. Tomorrow night is anything but. Dust off your wings, capes, masks, and monster makeup, and join the spooky spectacle at NYC's 53rd Annual Village Halloween Parade this Saturday, October 31, at 7 PM. Come dressed to impress... or terrify!

New federal work requirements are putting food and health care benefits at risk for thousands of New Yorkers. We've launched a new online resource to help you understand these changes. Check if you qualify for exemptions and find the support you need to keep your SNAP and Medicaid benefits at NYC.gov/workrules.
