Fire Island (FI) and NYC Weather

🌤️ Weather Forecast – March 6, 2026 (11am)

📍 NYC & Fire Island

Today will stay raw overall with periodic drizzle, and Saturday will remain cool.

By Sunday it may feel downright spring-like in NYC. In fact, next Monday could push into the 70s in the city. Fire Island will remain cooler until we get a strong enough northwest gradient and land breeze to keep the cold ocean air offshore.

Winds turn southwest on Tuesday, bringing summer-like warmth to NYC or areas just south and west — it’s going to be a close call — while Fire Island stays much cooler due to the cold ocean temperatures. Colder air briefly returns Thursday behind the next frontal system.
