Temperatures are soaring into the low 90s today with hazy sunshine. Poor air quality is expected today due to the stagnant air in our borough combined with hotter than usual temperatures. Reduce strenuous daytime activity outside today.

Saturday is even hotter and more humid with temperatures possibly approaching the mid 90s in the afternoon. A stray thunderstorm is expected after 7 p.m. but not everyone will see rain.

Sunday is mostly cloudy to start with a passing rain cloud, but most of the day is dry. High temperatures are in the mid 80s.

Next week starts off pleasant with highs near 80-degrees on Monday and Tuesday, but the heat is back for the middle and end of next week. The city could potentially have a heat wave, three consecutive days in the 90s, starting next Wednesday through the end of next week.

Widespread rain is not expected
