New York Weather: CBS2's 8/9 Monday Afternoon Forecast

By Matt DeLucia, CBS2 Meteorologist/Weather Producer

Today will feature mostly cloudy skies as low pressure continues to meander offshore. There's a chance of a few passing showers, especially for Long Island. Highs will range from the 70s out east to the mid 80s for inland NJ where brighter skies are expected. We'll top out around 82 in the city.

The risk of some isolated showers continues tonight under partly to mostly cloudy skies. It's a mild and muggy night with lows in the 60s for the suburbs and near 70 around town.

After today, the story for the rest of the week will be increasingly hot and humid conditions. Temps will climb into the upper 80s tomorrow and then by Wednesday, highs will be in the low 90s with afternoon heat indices of 100+ degrees. We've caught a break lately, but that oppressive feel returns.

There's a risk of afternoon and evening t'storms popping up pretty much each day. Summer's back!
