Weekend Weather: Get Ready to Sweat

Yes, it's summer, but this being New York, there's no telling what the wily weather will do over the weekend.

Poor weather is nearly guaranteed in the winter months, but we'd hate for you to make extensive beach plans, only to see them canceled by an unexpected thunderstorm.

So each week this summer, Patch will keep you abreast of the weather with information from the National Weather Service.

Friday: The weather today will be sunny, with a high near 91 degrees. An eastward breeze will blow around 6 miles per hour, and the evening will be mostly clear, the temperature mercifully dropping down to the low-70s.

Saturday: Let's not mince words here: Saturday is going to be brutal. The high will be near 98 degrees, with the heat index values as high as 101 degrees. The evening will bring a 30 percent chance of rain and thunderstorms, with the temperature expected to drop to around 77 degrees.

Sunday: Sunday will bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the early afternoon before 1 p.m. The rest of the day is predicted to be partly sunny with a high of 91 degrees. The evening will be partly cloudy with a low around 70.
