NYC Heat Slowly Builds With Friday Crescendo
Good afternoon everyone. We have an absolutely beautiful day today with relatively low humidity and an overall comfortably warm feel. We’ll go warmer as each day progresses, but we’ll keep the humidity to a minimum tomorrow. After that, all bets are off as heat and humidity continue to build to a crescendo on Friday, where temps may go 95-100 depending on the final wind profile. Beyond Friday, we could possibly have a serious of reinforcing cold fronts, knocking us down into the 80’s aside from a hotter day here or there. Highest thunderstorm risk looks to be Friday with that cold front, but we could see a popcorn storm here or there starting on Wednesday.
SATELLITE
For today, expect sunny skies, low humidity, light northwesterlies, and highs in the mid 80’s. Tomorrow will be about the same, but we go a touch warmer in the mid to upper 80’s.
WEATHER RADAR
Humidity begins to creep back on Monday, with puffier clouds and highs in the upper 80’s to near 90. Look for more of the same on Tuesday, with increasing humidity and highs near 90.
We official go on the hot side on Wednesday as we dip into the low 90’s (cooler tithe shore); then low to mid 90’s on Thursday.
Friday looks to be the most oppressive day, with searing heat, high humidity and highs in the mid to upper 90’s. Some spots could hit 100 depending on the final wind profile. A cold front passing through late could touch off a fairly vigorous line of heavy thunderstorms fueled by that heat and humidity.
Next weekend could be a cooler and more quiet one if that front can make it all the wya through. For now, I’m going to call for a breezy next Saturday with highs in the low to mid 80’s, then winds calming down and sunny mid 80’s for Sunday.
