i can't it feels good on your shoulders, and this is just the beginning. think about the next two days going into mid-may mode, in the middle 70s. and how nice in central park. first of all, let's give you a great forecast i know you love over the next couple of days. there is a little bit of haze and patchy fog around tonight but it is so comfortable out there our temperature is 56. the air is pretty dry. we have a southeast wind at 5. and because we have the wind that is why we dropped back 11 degrees from our high, which happened just around lunch time. that happens this time of year with the colder water. luckily we take the ocean out of the mix the next couple of days and records could fall wednesday and thursday of the look at the difference to point pleasant over to wrights town. a huge difference. you go 20, 30 miles inland, temperatures are off to the race. near 70 in around over. our warmest spots are farther west. 40s in montauk. the wind is light but what we have is out of the southeast and that's breeze has actually gone unusually far inland, all the way into orange county and parts of interior new jersey. so here is your plan as you go through the evening hours. temperatures dropping to 53. then the winds start turning over to the southwest. tomorrow morning will be around the low 50s. and with the west southwest wind, mid 70s. we can be 70 by lunch time. might be a little low cloudiness we have to get rid of early but look for mid-70s tomorrow evening we might not drop below 60. satellites showing some of the patchy cloudiness around. but there is a fair amount of sun. a warm front right on top of us just to our north and west. that is why we have access to our southeast winds. once that goes through it is all about the warmer winds. it is pushing 80 degrees in dc, and i'm not going to be surprised if parts of interior new jersey see some 80-degree readings over the next couple of days. especially trenton or summerville. tonight temperatures dropping through the 50s as we go through tomorrow morning, we'll be in the upper 40s in a couple of spots. around 50 for your launching pad and during the afternoon hours big difference from what we saw today because of the southwest winds. so look for low and middle 70s. only 55 to 62 on parts of long island, especially south facing shores. the north shore could push 68 to 70 degrees while the south shore is having trouble getting tomorrow trenton could be a 76 or 77. partly cloudy mild tonight patchy fog late. tomorrow up to 75. that destroys the old record of 69 set back in 2000. 60s on the south facing shores of long island. tomorrow barely below 60 degrees. a quite mild tonight. coming up at 4:30 we'll address the thursday map. the rain is too far, the front is looking farther north. maybe south and west of new york city maybe the entire area is able to get day. in the meantime, enjoy the next couple of days. meteorologist jeff smith out in central park.
