It\u2019s about to feel like it.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">Just a few days ago, we were bundling up\u2014dealing with blustery winds and overnight lows dipping into the 20s. Classic spring, right? Unpredictable as ever.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">Now, we\u2019re flipping the script in a big way.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">Tomorrow\u2019s high is expected to reach 83 degrees, which is nearly 20 degrees above normal for this time of year. That puts us right in line with cities like Tampa and Atlanta\u2014yes, in mid-April!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-rich-text-asset-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/mt1article.png\" alt=\"mt1article.png\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">But here\u2019s the real headline: Wednesday could bring record-breaking heat.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">By 9 a.m., temperatures are already expected to be in the 80s. That\u2019s a strong signal we\u2019re headed for a hot afternoon. The current record for April 15 in Central Park is 87 degrees, set back in 1941\u2014and that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re forecasting. If temperatures climb just a bit higher, we could see that record fall.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-rich-text-asset-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/mt3article.png\" alt=\"mt3article.png\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">Typically, mid-April highs range from the upper 50s to the mid-70s. But we\u2019ve seen this kind of early-season heat before\u2014in fact, 2023 brought several days in the 90s.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">So, is summer here?<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">Not quite.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">Meteorological summer doesn\u2019t begin until June 1, and the summer solstice arrives on June 21. So while this stretch may feel like summer, it\u2019s really just a spring tease.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">Enjoy the warmth while it\u2019s here\u2014but don\u2019t put away those jackets just yet. Cooler days and chilly nights are still ahead before the real heat settles in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Are you ready for summer? It\u2019s about to feel like it.
