LI Weekly Weather: Sweltering Temps Cut By Possible Thunderstorms
Tuesday is going to be near record-high temperatures. Then a 20-degree plunge will cool things down.
LONG ISLAND, NY — Near-record temperatures are going to make Long Islanders sweat today, but thankfully that heat will be quickly disappearing.
Today's high temperature will be around 94 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. That puts it in line with the other record highs for this time of year.
However, those sweltering temperatures won't be around for long. The NWS said a cold front is moving in which will drastically drop temperatures. Wednesday's high is predicted to be 71. Temperatures will be closer to that for the rest of the week.
