Summertime weather continues with record highs in New York

New York City's balmy weather proved to be record-breaking for the date of April 15. In Central Park, the high was 90 degrees, besting the previous record of 87 from 1941.

Elsewhere across the Tri-State Area, towns and cities such as Newark and Islip also broke records, coming in at 90 and 81 respectively.

Heading into the overnight hours, Central Park may break another record, but this time for a record high low temperature. The warmest low on record for April 16 is 69 degrees, set in 2002, and we are forecasting a low of 68.

Regionwide, low temperatures will only drop into the mid and upper 60s, which is higher than our average daily highs this time of year.

One more day of highs reaching the upper 80s and low 90s is on tap for Thursday. Most of the day will feature sunshine, with some clouds at times.

Just like Tuesday and Wednesday, there will be a storm chance, but it will come very late on Thursday night.

Temperatures then cool down to end the week, only reaching the upper 70s and low 80s.
