NEW YORK (PIX11) — It is going to heat up in the tri-state region. Record highs could be threatened later in the week, but it may also come with shower chances.
A warm front lifting through the region did bring a stray shower to New York City during the afternoon.
NYC forecast and PIX11’s Weather Center
The passage of the front signals the development of a strong southwesterly wind and will bring in the summer-like temperatures for the rest of the week. To the north, several weak disturbances will ride along a meandering frontal boundary and could bring a threat of a shower from time to time.
Skies will clear out with the passage of the cold front on Monday night. It will be mild as temperatures only dip into the mid 60s.
Temperatures are going to soar on Tuesday. Afternoon highs will likely be in the low to mid 80s. A stray afternoon shower may bring the threat of a pop-up shower, mainly for northern areas.
The peak of the summer-like warmth will be on Wednesday. Temperatures could be record-breaking as highs soar into the upper 80s, with some inland areas possibly hitting 90 degrees. A better chance of thunderstorms could develop with the very warm temperatures in place.
The heat will remain on Thursday as temperatures will top out in the upper 80s. Shower chances do not look as likely when compared to Wednesday.
By Friday, temperatures are expected to trail further down. Temperatures will be in the lower 80 degrees with the risk of showers and thunderstorms.
