Let's Head To The Beach - It's Another Scorcher in NY


Grab the swimsuit! The beach is calling again...Today’s weather is sunny and hot, with a high near 101° (the record for today is 101°, set in 1957).  Expect widespread haze to continue today through the early afternoon hours.  The heat index value for today will range between 105° to 111°, so once again it will feel like we are stepping into a sauna as we step outdoors.  The wind will be westerly between 6 and 10 mph.  As you head out tonight to take a 'bite of the Big Apple', leave the umbrella and jackets at home.  It will be very warm and dry tonight with a low of 80°, under a mostly clear sky.  

Traveling across the state of New York today?  Here are a handful of regional forecasts throughout the state today:  Albany, NY:  Sunny, hazy, hot and humid topping out to 93 and a heat index making it feel like it’s 100° outdoors.  Buffalo:  Hazy, hot and humid with a high of 90, feeling like it’s 94°.  Plattsburgh, NY:  Partly Cloudy, hot and breezy with a high of 92°, feeling as though it’s 95°.  Watertown, NY: Partly sunny and very warm with a manageable high of 89°, feeling as though it were 91°.
