The winds will be 9 - 13 mph Friday, and then falling to 5 - 10 mph Saturday and Sunday. While it will be cloudy, no rain is in the forecast until Sunday late evening or Monday morning.

The photo at right was taken at the old Frick Museum in Manhattan. The Frick began renovations in 2021 and will return in late 2024. They had moved to the site that had formerly been the Met Breuer and home to the Whitney, but that ended in March of 2024 - so like a lot of New York inhabitants, the Frick is currently homeless ... but not for long.
