Repent!

Well folks, I hope your affairs are in order and you are all well-hydrated because today will be our last day of cool, pleasant weather.  Clouds will cover the skies for the early part of the day.  We have a large high-pressure system centered east of the Carolinas which will begin to advect warm, wet Atlantic air up the coast into our region.  That should start late this afternoon/evening; look for dewpoints to increase and our temps won't budge until morning, and even then they don't go down much.

Saturday looks to be quite warm with the southerly flow in full-effect as temps climb into the low 90s.  However, for those taking in the Belmont Stakes, LI should be a little bit cooler with the southerly ocean breeze keeping temps in the mid/upper 80s.

Sunday looks to be probably the hottest day of the weekend with the high pressure ridge centered over NY.  Temps Sun will be in the mid 90s going back down to the low 90s on Monday.  We don't get a reprieve from the hotness until Tuesday.  

A few final tidbits on this weekends forecast:  This air will not only be quite hot but humid as well, so nighttime temps won't fall much.  Saturday's and Sunday's low temps could very well be in the upper 70s (77), for a LOW.  This hot humid air also means a rogue afternoon t-storm may be possible.  I think Sunday is the most likely day.  So be aware that one could pop up during the afternoon.  Other than that, stay cool and classy New York.

Today: Cloudy and cool with some afternoon sun.  High 74. Winds S @ 8-10mph.

Tonight:  Scattered clouds.  Evening temps in the low 70s, down to 69 by morning.  Winds S @ 5mph.

Tomorrow:  Sunny and warm.  High 94.  Winds S/SW @ 8-12mph.

Tomorrow Night: Clear and muggy:  Low 76. 

Sunday:  Hot and humid:  High 97.
