Synopsis:
Today will result in the trifecta of heat in early May. Records were broken yesterday. Today we’ll be just shy of the record of 92º in Central Park as the hottest part of the airmass has moved offshore. It’ll still be very warm with highs well into the 80s.
An approaching cool front will spark scattered storms later today and this evening. The majority of the afternoon will be storm-free. Some of the storms this evening maybe strong.
More comfortable temperatures will be with us for the upcoming weekend. Saturday looks dry but by Saturday night and Sunday most of the computer models develop a wave of low pressure along the dying cool front to the South. The chance of showers is remains in the forecast for Saturday Night and Sunday.
Stay tuned.
