It will not be as cold overnight with more clouds and a stray shower around midnight. Friday morning will have temperatures in the low- to mid-40s and a calmer wind. Friday will be the transition day, with sun and clouds and temperatures into the low-60s. Another round of rain and possibly a downpour is expected Friday night between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. Saturday morning. Once that rain clears, it unlocks June-like warmth into the borough. Saturday morning starts off sunny and warmer with lows in the mid-50s, a high launching pad for temperatures to soar into the afternoon.

All the ingredients for summerlike warmth are in place, including a warm west wind and plenty of sun. Highs should reach the low-80s away from the water, with 70s at the immediate coast. This will be the warmest day in nearly 150 days, as the last time it reached 80 degrees was Nov. 6, 2024.

Saturday's warmth will be a one-hit wonder. The same front that will bring rain Friday night will move back across the area Saturday night, ending the heat at just one day. A shower or two is possible on Saturday night. It will be wildly colder on Sunday with highs struggling to stay in the 50s. The same front moves back north Sunday night, unlocking more warm weather for Monday with temperatures returning to the 70s. The warm pattern will come to a screeching halt Monday night as a strong storm could produce severe thunderstorms later Monday. Temperatures could drop from the 70s to the 30s in about 36 hours early next week.
