Hottest weather we’ve felt so far coming this week

SYRACUSE, NY (WSYR-TV) – We’ve turned a bit of a corner into summer-like warmth. Could we hit 90 for the first time this year this week? Find out below…

A stretch of summery weather this week

Get ready for very warm to hot temperatures the next few days! Grab the shorts, sunscreen, water, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the good deal of sun. Click here for your golf and mowing forecast.

A developing southwesterly wind (typically a warm wind for Syracuse) helps push temperatures into the mid to upper 80s through Tuesday.

But we don’t stop there! If we stay mainly dry with enough sun Wednesday, we could very well warm into the low 90s! The record high Wednesday is 92° set back in 1911. We shall see…

It will be an early taste of summer weather for Central New York. Check out the rising dew points through midweek below too.

While there may be a spotty shower/storm or two Tuesday afternoon/evening, the next best chance of more widespread showers and storms won’t arrive until late Wednesday afternoon and or Wednesday night. The culprit of the showers and storms late Wednesday into the start of Thursday will be a cold front.

Ahh…for the last half of the week

In the wake of the Thursday morning cold front passage, it turns much cooler and less humid with a breeze come Thursday afternoon into Friday.

Highs should drop back into the mid to upper 70s Thursday with some afternoon sunshine after a few showers and possibly a storm or two kick off the day.

The coolest day of the week comes Friday with plenty of sun, a nice breeze and a more seasonable high in the low 70s.
