Synopsis:
High pressure will be off the coast through midweek. The return Southwesterly flow will bring up very warm air for this time of the year through Thursday. These warm readings said hello on Monday (many areas got into the 80s) and will be with us through midweek. Record high temperatures are likely today and possibly on Wednesday. The record for Central Park for today is 82º set in 1928. These readings are more typical for mid to late June!
