New York is entering a week of weather whiplash, swinging from wet and stormy conditions to an early-summer heat wave that could break records.

🌧 Early Week: Drizzle to Storm

Expect a damp start on Tuesday, with patchy morning showers and lingering clouds. The moisture primes the system for stronger storms on Wednesday, with humid air fueling thunderstorms capable of producing heavy downpours and gusty winds. These showers linger into Thursday afternoon, when the combination of warmth and atmospheric lift brings elevated risk of hail and damaging winds.

🌬️ Midweek Transition

As storms pass Thursday evening, a temporary cooldown follows with windy and less humid air. Friday brings a brief, pleasant break with sunny skies and highs in the mid‑80s—offering a welcome reprieve before the heat arrives.

🔥 Weekend & Early Next Week: Heat Wave

A powerful heat dome builds by Saturday, and Sunday sees highs reaching around 90°F, with increasing humidity. Monday marks the peak—with temperatures hitting 92°F, the warmest since last summer. Humidity will drive heat indices towards triple digits, signaling possible Heat Advisories for NYC and the broader Northeast.
