Wednesday brings a mix of sun and clouds along with building heat. High temperatures will reach the upper 80s to low 90s and a few spotty late-day showers and thunderstorms could develop. Some of those storms may produce brief heavy downpours and gusty winds.
Long Island will see plenty of sunshine and hot conditions by Thursday, with temperatures in the 90s and feels-like temperatures climbing into the low 100s.
