NYC Late Week Mini Heatwave Brewing
Good afternoon everyone. We’re entering peak heat for this summer season, and although it’s been warmer than average for the most part, we never actually achieved a heatwave. It’s actually rare to get through most of July without doing so, but we will finally get a taste of what typical NYC summers are capable of in terms of heat. We’ll start off very warm and juicy for the workweek and by Friday, we’ll be pushing the 95-100 mark depending on the wind profile. We’ll also have the chance of some severe weather late Friday depending on the timing of our front. That front will leave us with a more dry, but still very warm weekend.
SATELLITE
Look for sun and clouds today as some blowoff from thunderstorms to our south reach over the coastal plain. Regardless, we are very warm and humid with highs in the mid to upper 80’s. We’ll also have the slight chance of an isolated storm, but most of the action will be well N&W of NYC.
We’ll have a repeat tomorrow, with more pronounced sunshine and highs near 90.
WEATHER RADAR
Wednesday we wander into the muggy and hot/very hot realm as that dome of peak heat drifts our way. We’ll have highs in the near 90/low 90 realm. Things continue on for Thursday and we turn up that heat slowly with highs in the low to mid 90’s.
Friday will be peak heat with highs in the 95-100 range. We’ll also have the chance of some heavy PM storms, but we’ll have to watch the timing of our front closely. The later it arrives, the chance will dwindle for widespread severe weather.
Your weekend continues to look quiet and dry, albeit still very warm instead of comfortable. Light NW winds will help keep the cool air at bay, with highs in the upper 80’s to near 90 for each day.
