New York, NY – A major warming trend is expected to bring summer-like heat across New York and parts of the Northeast next week, with some inland areas potentially approaching 100 degrees by Tuesday and Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service in New York, temperatures will steadily climb beginning Saturday and continue rising through the middle of next week.
Forecasters said inland locations away from the coast could see highs surge into the upper 80s and low to mid-90s by Tuesday and Wednesday. Some urban and interior communities could experience even hotter conditions, especially where prolonged sunshine and lower wind flow allow temperatures to spike closer to the upper 90s.
Closer to the coastline, including portions of Long Island and coastal New York City, temperatures are expected to remain somewhat cooler, generally ranging from the 70s into the low 80s due to ocean influences.
The warmup follows a stretch of cooler spring conditions and could mark one of the hottest periods so far this year for parts of the region.
Meteorologists say increasing humidity may also develop during the week, making conditions feel even hotter during the afternoon hours.
Residents are encouraged to stay hydrated, limit strenuous outdoor activity during peak heat, and check on vulnerable individuals, especially elderly family members and pets.
The National Weather Service is expected to refine the forecast over the coming days as confidence increases on exactly how hot temperatures could become across the tri-state area.
