NYC Weather Forecast: Temps Could Feel Like Almost 100 Degrees

NEW YORK, NY — This week's weather is here to remind you that summer isn't over. Monday in New York City could feel like nearly 100 degrees as a likely heat wave rolls on, according to the National Weather Service.

Monday will bring a high temperature near 93 degrees with heat index values climbing as high as 98, the weather service says. The hottest conditions are expected between 1 and 4 p.m., the forecast shows.

Tuesday won't bring much relief — a high near 91 and heat index values as high as 96 are expected, the forecast says.

The sweltering temperatures will continue the hot streak that began Sunday, when the mercury got as high as 91 degrees in Central Park.

Things will cool slightly, but not much, as rain threatens the city later in the week, according to the weather service. A chance of thunderstorms will roll in Tuesday afternoon and linger into Thursday, but the temperature could still near 90 on Wednesday before dipping into the upper 80s on Thursday, the forecast shows.

Sunny skies and a high near 88 are expected Friday before more storms threaten over the weekend, according to the forecast.
