Weather for NYC causing a heat advisory Thursday and Friday. Check the stormy forecast.

Thursday and Friday will be First Alert Weather Days in the New York City area, with high temperatures and the chance for strong storms, particularly in the late afternoon, that may bring damaging winds and hail, as well as localized flooding.   

Although the odd shower or storm will help cool things off overnight, the temperatures from here continue to climb, and with it the chance of severe storms. It'll be 10 degrees warmer, in the 90s, Thursday and Friday, but it will feel like triple digits because of that elevated dew point. 

A heat advisory will be in effect in NYC and most of the surrounding areas, including central and northern New Jersey, Nassau County, parts of Suffolk County and most of Connecticut, starting at noon Thursday and running through 8 p.m. Friday. 

Cooling centers across the city are opening for the duration of the hot weather. Click here to find a center nearby. 

After some hot, humid and stormy days Thursday and Friday, the weekend is shaping up nicely, with clear skies and temperatures in the 80s expected for Saturday and Sunday.
