NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) – A mini heat wave will bring scorching temps to the New York City area this weekend, with highs tying a 25-year record and RealFeels near 100 degrees in the city.
There's a heat advisory in place for Saturday in New York City, Westchester and much of Long Island.
Friday's high hit 75, but it’s the beginning of a warmup that will peak Saturday and Sunday with the hottest temps of the year so far, according to AccuWeather.
A couple of showers are possible, along with a thunderstorm late in the day on Friday or into the evening. Partly cloudy and humid conditions are forecast later tonight.
A Tornado Watch was in effect until 7 p.m. Friday for much of Southern New Jersey ahead of this record-tying hot weekend.
Saturday will be the hottest day of the year so far as temps top or exceed 90 and RealFeel temps near 100 degrees. Mostly sunny skies and humidity will only amplify the heat and stickiness. It will be cooler along the coasts, with highs of 65 to 70 degrees.
The high of 93 degrees in Manhattan on Saturday will tie the previous record of 93 degrees set on May 21, 1996. It'll feel like it's in the upper 90s in some places.
There will be no relief from the heat on Saturday night as lows stick to the 70s in New York City.
Temps crank back up to 90 or better Sunday, but RealFeels will be a little more merciful at 99. The humidity will stick around.
Sunday is otherwise partly sunny before a thunderstorm late in the day or at night breaks the mini heat wave.
Temps will return to normal by Monday, with cooler temperatures and less humidity. Highs will be in the 70s.
