AccuWeather: Warmer, less humid
AccuWeather forecast for NYC, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Wednesday is shaping up to be the best day of the week.
Sunshine will return, humidity levels will be slightly lower, and temperatures will climb into the low 80s, much closer to seasonal averages. Morning temperatures in the 60s will feel almost refreshing thanks to drier air, a welcome change from the humid, wet conditions that dominated the start of the week. While dew points will remain in the 60s, making it feel a bit humid at times, conditions will be noticeably less oppressive than they have been recently.
The pleasant weather will not last long, however, as a warming trend develops through the second half of the week. By Wednesday night, a shift in wind direction will begin drawing more humid air back into the area, along with increasing cloud cover.
Thursday will start relatively quiet, but the return of moisture will help spark scattered thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours, with some heavier downpours possible.
The steamiest conditions arrive on Friday. Temperatures are expected to rise into the upper 80s, and with the higher humidity, it will feel more like the 90s. Scattered thunderstorms remain possible, continuing the unsettled pattern that develops late in the week. Similar conditions are expected into Saturday before the weather begins to settle down.
Looking ahead, the forecast points toward drier weather during the second half of the weekend and into the start of next week.
