AccuWeather Alert: Hot again with a PM storm
AccuWeather forecast for NYC, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
NEW YORK (WABC) -- New Yorkers are bracing for one more burst of summer-like heat before a dramatic shift unsettles the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
Wednesday will bring another 90-degree scorcher, with heat index values pushing into the upper 90s to near 100 degrees, keeping heat advisories in effect across much of the area. But unlike recent days, the heat will come with a growing risk of strong, gusty thunderstorms developing during the afternoon and early evening.
While not expected to be a widespread severe weather outbreak, some storms could produce damaging wind gusts, especially across the core of the region and areas just south of New York City. Northern suburbs may see less intense activity, but conditions remain unsettled for much of the region.
Once the storms move through, the pattern takes a pronounced turn. The oppressive heat quickly retreats, replaced by cooler-than-normal temperatures lasting through the holiday weekend. Instead of summer warmth, conditions may feel unseasonably raw at times, with daytime highs dipping into the 60s, and in some spots struggling to even reach 60 by Saturday.
The holiday weekend forecast is shaping up to be far from ideal for outdoor plans. A series of weather systems is expected to bring multiple rounds of rain, making it difficult to pinpoint long stretches of dry weather.
