Bronx Weather Monday May 11 2026: Rain, 6 Train Disruptions, and What Residents Need to Know
Rain hits the Bronx Monday with near-100% precipitation and gusts to 25 mph — plus the 6 train’s Mosholu Parkway stop is bypassed through weekend maintenance. Here’s the full Bronx impact breakdown.

The Bronx wakes up to a rainy Monday. The National Weather Service has issued a near-100 percent precipitation forecast for Bronx County today, with scattered showers through the morning commute building into a chance of afternoon thunderstorms. On top of the wet weather, a key 6 train stop remains out of service through the weekend work period — creating a double headache for morning commuters.

High: Mid-60s (63–65°F)

6 Train: Mosholu Parkway Stop Out

Bronx residents who rely on the 6 train at Mosholu Parkway need an alternate plan this morning. As part of ongoing track replacement work, Manhattan-bound 6 trains are bypassing Mosholu Parkway station through the end of the weekend maintenance window. To get to Manhattan from Mosholu Parkway, riders should board a Woodlawn-bound train and transfer.

Additionally, the 6 train is making stops at 79 St and 86 St in both directions due to structural maintenance work — this may affect travel times on that stretch of the line.

Pairing rain delays with service disruptions means Bronx commuters should budget an extra 15–20 minutes for their Monday morning trip. Check MTA real-time alerts before heading to the platform.

Schools, Parking, and City Services

NYC Public Schools: Open today — no DOE closure announced for Monday, May 11. With near-certain rain all day, expect outdoor recess to be moved indoors or canceled at Bronx schools. If you’re walking your kids to school, rain gear is essential: the morning commute window is squarely in the showers period.

Alternate Side Parking: In effect today. No suspension is in place for May 11. If you need to move your vehicle for street cleaning, do it early — wet pavement and gusty winds (up to 25 mph) will make parking maneuvers harder as the day progresses. The next scheduled ASP suspension is Thursday, May 14 (Solemnity of the Ascension).

DSNY Garbage & Recycling: Regular Monday collection is on schedule in the Bronx. No holiday suspension is in effect.

Bronx Resident Decision Guide

  • 6 train commuters near Mosholu Parkway: Take the Woodlawn-bound train and transfer — allow extra time.
  • Cyclists on the Bronx River Greenway or elsewhere: Skip it today. Gusts to 25 mph on wet paths are dangerous.
  • Drivers: ASP is in effect. Move your car before the thunderstorm window arrives (midday onward). Visibility drops fast in heavy rain — slow down on the Bruckner, the Cross Bronx, and the Major Deegan.
  • Walkers and school drop-offs: Full rain kit: umbrella, waterproof shoes, and a layer — the temperature feels cooler with the wind chill from those SW gusts.
  • Afternoon outdoor plans in Pelham Bay Park, Van Cortlandt, or Bronx Zoo: Postpone. Thunderstorm risk is real from midday into the evening.

Looking Ahead

The rain is a one-day event. Tonight clears out as a north wind pushes the system offshore, dropping the overnight low to near 47°F. Tuesday is expected to bring a return to partly sunny skies with highs staying in the mid-60s — a much better day for the Bronx’s parks, greenways, and outdoor commuters.
