What to Know
It's a hot day today with less humidity.
Spotty storms tonight and Thursday.
Gorgeous Friday and Saturday with sunny skies and highs in the low 80s.
Rain chances creep back in by Sunday and look more likely Sunday night into Monday.
Morning Rush
Clouds will still be hanging around as you head out the door, with morning temperatures in the 70s. There's only a small chance of a passing shower early and skies are clearing out so you won't need the umbrella. Winds stay light out of the north.
Rest of Wednesday
Skies clear out through the afternoon, turning mostly sunny for the afternoon. Highs climb to the upper 80s, making it the warmest day of the week. Humidity stays manageable and winds stay light, so it should feel like a solid summer day overall. Keep in mind that late tonight, showers and a few thunderstorms become possible, mainly overnight, as a weak front moves through.
Thursday
A few lingering showers are possible in the morning, then another round of showers and thunderstorms could develop in the afternoon. Overall, most of the day stays dry with mostly sunny skies, and highs reach the upper 80s. Any storms that do form should move through quickly. If you're planning on Movies With A View at Brooklyn Bridge Park that evening, skies should be clearing back out by showtime, though it's worth checking the sky before you head down to the Harbor View Lawn.
Friday
Friday looks great. Mostly sunny skies and a high in the low 80s make it a comfortable day with much lower humidity than earlier in the week. It's a good day to plan something outdoors.
The Weekend
Saturday is the standout, with sunny skies and a high in the low 80s, great weather if you're catching the outdoor concert at Brooklyn Army Terminal. Sunday starts off mostly sunny too, but a chance of showers moves in during the afternoon. That's worth noting if you're headed to the Crown Heights Festival at Brower Park, since it runs into the early afternoon window when showers become more likely. Rain becomes more likely Sunday night, so outdoor evening plans may need a backup.
Boat and Beach
Waters stay calm enough for boating through the weekend, with no major wind or wave concerns expected, good news for anyone launching out of Sheepshead Bay. If you're heading to Coney Island or Brighton Beach, the rip current risk is generally low through Thursday, though an approaching new moon is widening the tidal swing, so it's worth being a bit more cautious swimming around each afternoon's low tide, especially into the weekend.
