Cloud cover is intermittent along the coast near Boston, but no significant precipitation is present. Elsewhere in the region, Portland and Scranton enjoy pleasant weather conditions with clear skies.
This afternoon in New York City, temperatures hit a high of 86 degrees at 4 PM with a west-northwest wind around 9 miles per hour. As we transition to 6 PM, expect scattered thunderstorms while temperatures dip slightly to 83 degrees with winds easing to 8 miles per hour. By 8 PM, the sky clears back to partly cloudy conditions with temperatures cooling further to 77 degrees and winds from the west-northwest at 5 miles per hour.
Today, we’re seeing some warming trends across the Northeast. In New York City, expect a high of 91 degrees, with plenty of sunshine. Philadelphia isn’t far behind at 89, while Scranton will reach a comfortable 82. Boston will be hot at 88 degrees, making it a day to stay cool, particularly as humidity builds in the afternoon. Buffalo and Syracuse are on the cooler side, both hitting 78, giving residents a brief break from the heatwave enveloping the region.
Tonight, low temperatures will dip to 56 degrees in Scranton and 57 in Syracuse. New York City is expected to cool off to 67 degrees, while Philadelphia remains slightly warmer at 65. In Buffalo, temperatures will drop to 62, with Boston seeing a low of 61.

A passing cold front will bring scattered thunderstorms to the Northeast tomorrow. Expect thunderstorms overnight through early afternoon, impacting areas from Pittsburgh to Boston with heavy rainfall and gusty winds. Rainfall accumulations could exceed an inch in some areas, increasing the risk of localized flooding. Once the front passes, cooler and drier conditions will move in, leading to sunnier skies as we head into Wednesday. Keep an eye on the weather especially during the morning commute from New York City to Albany.
