Record broken! We have officially hit 90 degrees at Central Park shattering the previous record of 87 degrees.

A few passing showers or a late‑night storm may pop up after midnight, though the better chance for storms sits north and west of the city. Highs on Thursday will stay in the mid to upper 80s away from the coast. Thursday very late into early Friday we could see another stray shower or storm. This is the continuation of an annoying weather pattern we are in: hot with a stray shower or storm chance for the city after bedtime for most.

Friday brings a slight but noticeable cool‑down, with temperatures dipping into the upper 70s to near 80. A cold front will move in, increasing the likelihood of rain. Showers and thunderstorms are expected through the afternoon and evening, and some downpours with thunder and lightning could lead to messy travel. Keep an eye out for updates.

A significant cool‑down arrives this weekend and continues into next week. Temperatures will fall into the upper 60s—still above average—but a strong cold front on Sunday may trigger gusty storms. After that, we settle into a more around and below seasonable pattern next week, with cooler, breezy days in the 50s and 60s.
