Today:
Sunny and seasonably pleasant with afternoon temperatures reaching the middle to upper-70s. Humidity levels remain comfortable, and a light breeze will make for excellent outdoor conditions. This will be one of the most comfortable days of the week, ideal for outdoor activities, walking, or dining outside. A light jacket may still be needed early in the morning, especially outside the city. There is just the slight chance of a passing shower today.
Tonight:
Partly cloudy with overnight temperatures falling into the upper-50s to lower-60s. Comfortable sleeping weather continues with relatively low humidity and light winds.
Wednesday:
Sunny and warmer with highs climbing into the lower to mid-80s across much of the city. Humidity remains manageable, so despite the warmer temperatures it should still feel pleasant. Lightweight clothing will be appropriate, and sunscreen is recommended for extended time outdoors.
Wednesday Night:
Clear and mild with temperatures settling into the lower- to mid- 60s. A comfortable evening for outdoor dining, sports, or other activities.
Thursday:
Sunny and increasingly warm with highs reaching the mid- to upper- 80s. A southwest flow begins transporting warmer air into the region, giving the city its first real taste of summer heat. Stay hydrated if spending extended periods outdoors during the afternoon.
Friday:
Mostly sunny and hot with temperatures reaching the upper-80s to lower-90s. Away from immediate coastal areas, some neighborhoods could push into the lower to mid-90s during the afternoon. While humidity may not be excessive, the prolonged heat will be noticeable. Limit strenuous outdoor activity during peak afternoon heating and drink plenty of water.
The Weekend:
Saturday:
Mostly sunny and potentially the hottest day of the forecast period. Afternoon temperatures are expected to climb into the lower- to mid-90s across much of New York City and nearby suburbs, with slightly cooler readings near south-facing shorelines. Heat-sensitive individuals should take precautions, especially during the afternoon. A cold front approaching from the north may trigger scattered showers or thunderstorms late in the day or during the evening.
Saturday Night:
Mostly cloudy with temperatures holding in the upper-60s to lower-70s. A few showers or thunderstorms may accompany a cold front moving through the area, helping to bring an end to the brief heat wave.
Sunday:
Partly sunny and noticeably cooler with highs dropping back into the upper-70s to lower-80s. There remains a chance for scattered showers as cooler air filters into the region. While not a washout, outdoor plans may encounter a few interruptions.
Beach & Ocean Conditions:
The risk of rip currents lowers significantly beginning Tuesday and should remain generally low through midweek. However, dangerous currents can still develop near jetties, groins, and other structures. Always swim near lifeguards and remain aware of changing surf conditions. Water temperatures continue to rise, but it is still pretty chilly for swimming.
