Monday"s highs in the mid-50s will dip slightly Tuesday to around 47 degrees, forecasters said still a few degrees above the norm for this time of year.
And by Wednesday, "a warm front will be moving through," according to the National Weather Service.
Wednesday"s temps should top out around 60 degrees. Some clouds in the morning are expected to give way to sunny skies by afternoon.
Thursday will be even hotter, with a predicted high of 68 degrees.
"Thursday still looks like the warmest day of the week with the potential for record high temperatures," the weather service said.
If the mercury surges past 70 degrees Thursday afternoon on the weather service"s Central Park thermometer, the day would break a heat record set back in 1985.
(No heat records were broken in Central Park over the weekend. However, heat records set in 1997 were broken at JFK Airport and LaGuardia Airport on Sunday, where the afternoon highs were recorded at 68 degrees and 69 degrees, respectively.)
This coming Friday and Saturday should be a little cooler than Thursday, but still crazy warm for the season, with highs around 61 degrees. Some rain showers are expected to fall on both days.
Meteorologists are still relatively unsure where the weather"s whims will turn from there. However, the weather service is guessing a "cold front" will move through NYC "sometime late Saturday into Saturday night, with high pressure building for the end of the weekend. This signals a return to more seasonable temperatures."
