NEW YORK (WABC) -- Tuesday will bring another day of hot and humid weather, with afternoon highs again reaching the upper 80s.

Despite temperatures remaining below 90 degrees, humidity levels will make it feel significantly warmer, with heat index values climbing into the mid-90s.

A mix of sunshine and clouds is expected, along with somewhat hazy conditions. Spotty thunderstorms are forecast to redevelop Tuesday afternoon and evening, although widespread rainfall is not anticipated. Any storm activity should once again fade after sunset.

A gradual change in the weather pattern arrives during the second half of the week. Temperatures will ease closer to seasonal averages, settling in the mid-80s on Wednesday and Thursday. Humidity will still linger, especially on Thursday, supporting the development of a few isolated storms.

The most noticeable improvement arrives by Friday as drier air begins moving into the area. Humidity levels will fall, creating far more comfortable conditions heading into the weekend. We're expecting plenty of sunshine, lower humidity, and highs near 80 degrees on both Saturday and Sunday, setting the stage for a bright and pleasant summer weekend.
