A brief wave of warm air will return to New York as Fashion Week 2016 comes to an end.
A semi-annual event, Fashion Week will feature spring/summer 2017 collections from iconic designers including Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Monique Lhuillier, Tom Ford and Marchesa. Official shows will take place at the Skylight at Moynihan Station, Skylight at Clarkson Square, MADE @ Milk Studios, F.Y.I. @ MADE and the Shop at NYFW.

Temperatures will hover in middle to upper 80s on Wednesday, roughly 10 degrees above average for this time of year.
"RealFeel temperatures should be in the lower 90s Wednesday, which is certainly uncomfortable, but not quite as stifling as last week," AccuWeather Meteorologist Brian Thompson said.
In addition, there will be plenty of sunshine throughout the day.
"There is a threat for some early evening showers on Wednesday, but nothing heavy is expected," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Tom Kines said.

By Thursday, the heat will subside and bring temperatures back to near normal. Humidity will also fade as cooler air pushes into the region.
Last week, stifling heat caused problems for models at Kanye West's outdoor fashion show. Some models fainted or were forced to sit down during the event as uncomfortable conditions took hold.
