AccuWeather Alert: Hot breeze, more humid

NEW YORK (WABC) -- While the humidity won't be as oppressive as during the last heat wave, it'll still make temperatures feel like triple digits in spots on Tuesday and over a more widespread area on Wednesday, as actual temperatures approach 100 degrees by then.

Expect mostly sunny skies with hot, breezy, and increasingly humid conditions on Tuesday. Afternoon highs are forecast to reach 92 degrees, with heat index values making it feel closer to 100 degrees at times.

Tuesday night will remain crystal clear, warm, and humid. Temperatures will struggle to fall, with an overnight low of only about 78 degrees.

The hottest day of the stretch is expected to be Wednesday. High temperatures are forecast to soar to 98 degrees, while the combination of heat and humidity could push feels-like temperatures into the 102 to 105 degree range. Breezy, very hot, and humid conditions are expected throughout the day. While most areas should remain dry, a late-day thunderstorm cannot be completely ruled out, primarily west of New York City.

Conditions stay hot on Thursday, but humidity levels are expected to be noticeably lower. With a forecast high of 92 degrees and a drier feel to the air, the day is not being designated as an AccuWeather Alert Day.

An afternoon storm is possible on Friday, but the better chance for showers and thunderstorms arrives over the weekend. AccuWeather is hopeful that any storms clear out in time for the FIFA World Cup finals at New York-New Jersey Stadium on Sunday.

By early next week, weather conditions are expected to improve as skies clear and the unsettled pattern moves away.
