Following more 90-degree Fahrenheit days with AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures topping 100 F, less extreme conditions are in the offing for New York City starting on Wednesday.
A cool front will push through the region Tuesday night and will be preceded by spotty thunderstorms each afternoon and evening. Storms during Tuesday evening could be more robust.

Sultry Weather to Start the Week

Rather than temperatures plunging to abnormally cool levels behind the front for the second half of the week, highs and lows will be within a few degrees of average from Wednesday through at least Saturday.

Temperatures typically range from a low in the upper 60s to a high in the middle 80s during the latter part of July.
The weather predicted should still be fine for swimming, golfing and most other outdoor activities. Nearby surf temperatures are in the 70s.

Most locations will be free of rain from Wednesday through Saturday which should make for ideal weather for outdoor painting and construction projects.
The chance of spotty thunderstorms will increase on Sunday.
Meanwhile, as drier air and typical warmth settle in, AccuWeather meteorologists will be monitoring an area of disturbed weather along the southeastern United States coast beginning this weekend for potential tropical development.
