What to Expect
The weather story through the remainder of the week will be the gradual buildup of summer heat. After comfortable conditions Wednesday, temperatures surge well into the 80s Thursday before potentially reaching the 90s Friday and Saturday. Fortunately, humidity levels are expected to stay somewhat lower than typical heat waves, but several consecutive hot days and warm nights could still create heat stress, particularly in urban areas.
A cold front arrives late Saturday into Sunday, bringing the next chance for showers and thunderstorms while knocking temperatures back closer to seasonal levels early next week.
This afternoon:
Sunny and pleasantly warm with afternoon temperatures reaching the upper 70s to lower 80s. Humidity stays relatively low, making it feel comfortable despite the warmer temperatures. This will be an excellent day for outdoor activities, with plenty of sunshine and light winds. Sunscreen is recommended if spending extended time outdoors.
Tonight:
Clear and mild with temperatures settling into the lower to middle 60s. Comfortable conditions continue with light winds and low humidity.
Thursday:
Sunny and warmer with highs climbing into the middle to upper 80s. The warming trend accelerates as summer-like air builds into the region. Humidity remains manageable, so conditions should still feel fairly comfortable. Lightweight clothing and staying hydrated are recommended during the afternoon.
Friday:
Mostly sunny and hot with temperatures soaring into the lower to middle 90s across much of New York City and nearby suburbs. Despite the heat, humidity levels are expected to remain relatively low, preventing the air from feeling excessively oppressive. Nevertheless, this will likely be one of the hottest days so far this year. Limit strenuous outdoor activities during the afternoon, drink plenty of water, and seek shade when possible.
Saturday:
Mostly sunny and very hot once again with afternoon temperatures reaching the lower to middle 90s. Some locations away from the immediate coast could challenge daily temperature records. Humidity remains lower than typical summer heat waves, but the prolonged warmth still poses a risk for heat-related illnesses. Stay hydrated, check on vulnerable family members and neighbors, and avoid prolonged exposure during peak afternoon heating.
Saturday Night:
Clouds increase with a chance of showers developing after sunset. Temperatures remain unusually warm for early June, holding in the upper 60s to lower 70s overnight. A cold front approaching from the west will begin bringing a change in the weather pattern.
Sunday:
Partly sunny and noticeably less hot with highs ranging from the lower to middle 80s. Showers and scattered thunderstorms become increasingly likely during the afternoon as a cold front moves through the region. Outdoor plans may be affected later in the day, so keep an eye on the forecast if you have activities scheduled.
Monday:
Partly sunny and much more seasonable with highs in the lower to middle 70s. A few lingering showers remain possible, but there should also be periods of dry weather. Overall, conditions become much more comfortable compared to the weekend heat.
