A heat advisory remains in effect for the metropolitan New York City area.

The National Weather Service predicts highs around 95 on Tuesday. The humidity will make it feel even worse.

An air quality alert is also in effect.

Beat-the-heat options include extended beach and pool hours in the Town of Hempstead, on Long Island.

Relief arrives on Thursday.

But first, you might want to brace yourself for Wednesday. The heat and humidity could make it feel like 100 degrees — or higher.

There’s also a chance of small hail on Wednesday during afternoon and evening thunderstorms.
