August 4th-5th, 2012 Weekend Getaway Forecast

Saturday looks like it will shape up to be a very nice day across New York State. Whether you're traveling up north to the Adirondacks or down south to NYC, it's going to be hot and humid regardless. There is a slight chance of an afternoon thunderstorm during the afternoon anywhere in the state. Highs will range from near 90 degrees in the Catskills and NYC to as high is the mid-90s in the Finger Lakes and Thousand Islands. Saturday night will be warm and muggy with a slight chance of an evening thunderstorm -- lows ranging from the mid-60s to the mid-70s.

Sunday is looking a little iffy. There will be hazy sun in the morning, but winds will be increasing out of the southwest. Thunderstorms will be developing in the afternoon, some of which could be strong to severe with gusty winds. Keep an eye on the sky on Sunday and Sunday night. It will be even more humid than Saturday, but temperatures will be a bit cooler, ranging from the mid-80s to around 90 degrees.
