AccuWeather: Suddenly summery
AccuWeather forecast for NYC, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
NEW YORK (WABC) -- An even warmer day Sunday with temperatures climbing into the mid-80s across the city, with some inland spots in New Jersey reaching the upper 80s. A west wind will help push the warmth all the way to the beaches, making it feel more like July than mid-May.
The weather pattern shifts again heading into Monday, bringing a "range day" across the region. A backdoor front will cool coastal areas dramatically, keeping temperatures in the 60s, while inland locations remain much warmer. New York City will land somewhere in between, with highs near 80 degrees.
Record-challenging heat is then expected on Tuesday and Wednesday before potentially heavy thunderstorms usher in a big cooldown.
Highs will soar into the low 90s both days. While Tuesday's storm threat looks limited to areas north and west of the city, Wednesday brings a broader risk of thunderstorms, some of which could become strong to severe. These storms will help break the heat heading into the latter part of the week.
Looking ahead, Thursday cools down significantly with clearing skies and highs near 70, followed by a pleasant Friday in the 60s. Temperatures will gradually rebound toward seasonal norms, around 70 degrees, just in time for the upcoming holiday weekend.
