HIGHS SOAR INTO THE 70s AND 80s THIS AFTERNOON
We’re starting off today with mostly sunny skies, giving way to a mixture of sun and clouds as we head through the afternoon. It’s going to be a warm day — potentially record-setting — with highs climbing into the 70s and even low 80s in spots. The record high at Long Island MacArthur Airport is 78 degrees, set back in 2024, and we’ll be right in that range. Do keep an eye to the sky later on, though, as a few late-day showers or even a thunderstorm could pop up.
For tonight, expect mostly cloudy skies with a chance of a few passing showers and perhaps a rumble of thunder. It will stay mild overnight, with low temperatures settling into the 50s and 60s. Some patchy fog could also develop toward early morning, so visibility may be a bit reduced for the start of your Thursday.
Speaking of Thursday, we’re looking at partly sunny skies and another warm day on tap. High temperatures will once again reach into the 70s and 80s, keeping that above-average warmth in place. As we head into Friday, we’ll hold onto partly sunny conditions, but there will be the chance for some late-day showers. Highs will ease back slightly, topping out in the 60s to low 70s.
Looking ahead to the weekend, Saturday is shaping up to be the pick of the bunch with plenty of sunshine and comfortable highs in the 60s. By Sunday, clouds will increase, and we’ll see rain developing during the afternoon hours. Temperatures will remain seasonable, with highs in the 60s to wrap up the weekend.
