Today's daily digit — 8/10: A little warmer and a little more humid. Still a lot to like with highs below 90 degrees in most spots and no storms. | 🤚 Your call?
The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale.
Forecast in detail
Today (Wednesday): No shower or storm worries again today as we climb toward a touch warmer highs in the mid- to upper 80s under mostly sunny skies. Humidity is up a notch as well, into the moderate range with dew points in the mid-60s. Winds are light from the southeast around 5 to 10 mph. Confidence: High
Tonight: Mostly clear and somewhat muggy, but still not too bad, with lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. Confidence: High
Tomorrow (Thursday): Plenty of sun and another step warmer, as light winds from the south help bump afternoon highs into the upper 80s and low 90s. Humidity climbs into the moderate to high range but shower and storms chances remain slim to none. Confidence: High
Tomorrow night: Still mostly clear but the mugginess is back almost at full force with lows in the low to mid-70s. Confidence: High
A look ahead
The heat is on Friday with highs at least in the mid-90s, possibly near 100 in some spots. With high humidity, heat indexes could reach near 105. Storm chances could return Friday afternoon into evening, although as of now it looks like just an isolated storm at most. Muggy Friday night lows in the 70s. Confidence: Medium
Heat sticks around for the weekend with highs aiming for the mid-90s Saturday and low to mid-90s Sunday. High humidity should push the heat index to near or above 100 both days. Storm chances ramp higher with scattered late-day storms possible both days. Some could be strong to severe. Confidence: Medium
Next week probably starts with more 90s and storm chances on Monday and Tuesday, eventually trending a bit cooler mid- to late week.

Colorado heat wave expected for several more days before cooldown
The heat impacting Colorado will continue for two more days before some slight relief arrives on Tuesday. Sunday will top out in the upper 90s across the Front Range. The record for the day is 98 degrees, set back in 1964. Monday could be another day of record-tying or breaking heat. The current record is 100 degrees. Several towns and cities on the Eastern Plains are expected to see triple-digit heat both Sunday and Monday. Tuesday, some slight relief arrives, and temperatures will return to normal for this time of year. Overnight Tuesday, a front will drop into the state, dropping temperatures into the 80s and upper 70s. The biggest change we will see is rain showers across the state. Some of the rain could be heavy at times, and localized flooding is possible. The rain is highly needed for the western half of the state, where high fire danger and drought continue.

Canadian Wildfire Smoke: New York City Faces Air Quality Advisory for Second Day in a Row
New York City and other parts of the Northeast were placed under air quality alerts for the second day in a row as smoke from the wildfires burning in Canada again brings hazardous conditions to the region. New York City was placed under an air quality health advisory over the weekend. AFP via Getty Images New York City, Long Island and the Hudson Valley will all experience air quality within the 101-150 range on the air quality index Sunday, the state's Department of Environmental Conservation forecasted—meaning the air could contain fine particles and could be 'unhealthy for sensitive groups.' Sensitive groups include very young children and adults with preexisting conditions like asthma and heart disease, the New York State Department of Health said, recommending these individuals limit 'strenuous outdoor physical activity.' The state issued an Air Quality Health Advisory on Saturday afternoon as smoke began blanketing the region, and extended the warning through Sunday evening at 11:59 p.m. EDT. Parts of New Jersey, New England and Quebec could also experience similar air quality conditions, according to online tracker IQAir. 120. That was the air quality reading for New York City as of around 11 a.m. EDT on Sunday morning—the eighth worst among major cities in the world, according to IQAir, and the worst in North America. Key Background The smoke blanketing the Northeast over the weekend is primarily the result of massive wildfires burning in Canada. Over 3,300 have burned over 5.6 million hectares across Canada year-to-date, according to the Canadian Interagency Fire Centre's most recent report. Canada has suffered from severe wildfires since a record-breaking 2023 wildfire season, when fires burning in Quebec blanketed New York City in an orange haze. Earlier this month, a group of Republican members of Congress from Wisconsin and Minnesota wrote to Ambassador Kirsten Hillman, Canada's ambassador to the U.S., asking the country for more information about how it planned to combat the fires and implying a 'lack of active forest management' played a role in exacerbating the situation. Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew, the leader of the Canadian province where wildfires forced thousands to evacuate and trapped and killed two people in a rural area in May, criticized the group as 'ambulance chasers' and challenged them to visit and support the American firefighters involved in battling the blazes on the Canadian side of the border. The air quality readings in New York this weekend are just a fraction of what was recorded in 2023, when readings spiked above 400—a level considered hazardous for the entire population.
