The week splits in half. Today runs partly sunny with a high near 67 and an east wind of 16 to 18 mph gusting to 28, and Thursday stays mostly sunny near 66. If anything outdoors needs doing, those are the two days the National Weather Service keeps dry.
Friday turns gray and breezy with a 30 percent chance of showers in the afternoon and a 40 percent chance Friday night. Saturday is the one to plan around: showers are likely, mainly after 2 PM, with a 60 percent chance, and Sunday holds a 50 percent chance and stays breezy. That forecast sits on the city's fall tag sale. TagNR runs Saturday, Sept 26 from 11 AM to 3 PM at Anderson Plaza in the Vanguard District, and the city set the rain date for Saturday, Oct 3 at the same hours. This is the first fall edition and the first held downtown, and the City Clerk's Office is using it to point residents to the yard sale permits they need for their own sales.
Thursday night belongs to the schools. The Board of Education meets at Central Administration, 515 North Avenue, second floor, with the executive session at 6 PM and the public session at 7 PM. Anyone who wants to speak signs up with the Clerk and Secretary to the Board by 3:30 PM that day at mbonilla@nredlearn.org or 914-576-4219. Anyone who misses that window can register in person at the meeting for up to two minutes if time allows, and public comment is limited to people in the room.
The questions New Rochelle searches this week, answer first, source after.
What happens to TagNR if it rains Saturday?
The city's rain date is Saturday, October 3 at the same hours, 11 AM to 3 PM, at Anderson Plaza in the Vanguard District. The National Weather Service gives Saturday a 60 percent chance of showers, likely mainly after 2 PM, and Sunday still holds a 50 percent chance, so a postponement call would come before the sale opens. Vendor sign-up for the September date closed Sept 14, and the City Clerk's Office lists the yard sale permits residents need to run their own sales.
How do I speak at the New Rochelle school board meeting Thursday?
Sign up with the Clerk and Secretary to the Board of Education by 3:30 PM on the day of the meeting, Thursday, September 24, at mbonilla@nredlearn.org or 914-576-4219.

Today's east wind runs 16 to 18 mph with gusts to 28, and Thursday eases to 13 to 16 mph with gusts to 26 under mostly sunny skies near 66. Friday turns mostly cloudy near 67 with a north wind around 17 mph gusting to 31 and a 30 percent chance of showers, rising to 40 percent Friday night. Saturday's showers are likely mainly after 2 PM at 60 percent, and Sunday stays breezy with a 50 percent chance. Monday and Tuesday look dry again, with mostly sunny highs near 68 and 72.
Metro-North keeps the regular timetable on the New Haven Line, and no road advisories are logged for the city. The wind is the item for anyone on two wheels through Thursday, and the wet stretch lands after two dry commute mornings.

A 60 percent chance leaves the decision open, and the rain date sits a week out. Try: "Here is the New Rochelle forecast for the next five days [paste it]. I am setting up at an outdoor sale Saturday from 11 to 3. Walk me through the hours, tell me which window looks dry, and draft a short message to my helpers with the decision deadline and the backup date." One paste gets you the hour-by-hour read and the message you were going to write twice.
