Strong cold front tonight with storms and cooler air moving in
A strong cold front is expected to sweep through New York and surrounding areas tonight, triggering a round of scattered to severe thunderstorms. Once this active weather passes, a noticeable cool down is forecast, with lower humidity and more comfortable conditions settling in across the region.
Hot and humid Tuesday before storms arrive
Before the arrival of the front, Tuesday afternoon will remain hot and sticky, with a mix of sunshine and building clouds. Temperatures will peak in the upper 80s°F (31°C) but will feel like the mid-90s°F (35°C) due to elevated humidity. Winds will be light to moderate, reaching up to 15 mph, with occasional gusts near 25 mph.
Storms expected after 7 p.m. with risk of severe weather
The cold front is projected to move through after 7 p.m., bringing a line of scattered showers and thunderstorms. Some storms could become strong to severe, with damaging winds and large hail as the primary threats. Given the instability in the atmosphere this morning, a brief tornado also cannot be ruled out.
Storm activity will continue intermittently through the overnight hours, with temperatures falling into the upper 60s°F (around 20°C) by Wednesday morning.
Cooler and cloudier Wednesday with scattered showers lingering
Wednesday will feel much cooler compared to the early-week heat. Expect mostly cloudy skies and on-and-off showers throughout the day, with highs only reaching the low 70s°F (22°C). Winds will remain breezy, up to 15 mph. By mid-afternoon, most storms will begin to weaken, leaving behind isolated showers and persistent cloud cover.
Skies will begin to clear after midnight, as temperatures dip into the low to mid-50s°F (11–13°C) by Thursday morning.
Pleasant and sunny Thursday with mild temperatures
Thursday will offer a welcome change, with mostly sunny skies and low humidity. Temperatures will remain below average for this time of year, with highs in the low to mid-70s°F (23°C). Winds will be gentle, around 10 mph. Thursday night will stay quiet and mostly clear, with lows in the mid-50s°F (13°C) by Friday morning.
Clouds increase Friday with storms returning by late night
Friday will begin with sunshine, but clouds will thicken through the afternoon. Highs will remain steady in the mid-70s°F (24°C), with winds between 10 and 15 mph and gusts reaching 20 mph. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to return overnight into Saturday, as temperatures drop into the mid-60s°F (18°C).
Storm chances linger Saturday under mostly cloudy skies
Saturday will be mostly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms persisting throughout the day. Temperatures will stay in the upper 70s°F (26°C), with light winds up to 10 mph. By late night, most of the storm activity will fade, with overnight lows in the mid-60s°F (18°C) by Sunday morning.
Quieter Sunday with seasonal warmth and breezy winds
Sunday returns to a more stable pattern, featuring partly cloudy skies and seasonal warmth. Highs will climb into the low 80s°F (28°C), with winds around 10 to 15 mph and gusts up to 20 mph. Sunday night will remain partly cloudy, with temperatures falling into the mid-60s°F (18°C).
Next week starts quiet, then turns stormy again

From Tuesday through Thursday, the weather pattern remains quiet, with the next chance of widespread storms expected by Friday and the weekend.
