A heat advisory is in effect for the five boroughs ahead of Sunday's expected 90-degree weather.
The advisory issued will go into effect at 10 a.m. on Sunday and remain until 8 p.m. on Monday, the National Weather Service said.
Many tri-state residents woke up Saturday to heavy rain and flash flood warnings, but beach weather is expected to hit on Sunday, with highs in the low 90s, sunshine and lower humidity, according to Storm Team 4.
The heavy rain and stray showers the tri-state area experienced during the day on Saturday have moved out, but lingering moisture could create fog overnight, Storm Team 4's Erica Grow says. The fog will clear on Sunday morning to make way for strong sunshine.
Temperatures are expected to stay in the 90s on Monday, with clouds and an isolated shower or storm possible on Tuesday.

Much of the region got an inch or two of rain on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. Parts of Passaic County got more than 2 inches.
The rain made for a wet first day of the Summer Streets, in which 7 miles of streets in Manhattan were closed for free activities. The program will continue for the next two Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Most of the region was dry by the early afternoon, but the rain continued across Long Island a little longer.
It comes after the National Weather Service confirmed an EF0 twister -- the weakest possible classification for a tornado -- touched down near St. Fidelis Catholic Church in College Point, weaving a path of destruction about three-quarters of a mile long and 100 yards wide.

At least 50 trees were taken down. The breadth of the damage was evident: One video showed a tree crush a woman’s car. Another showed a man get help from paramedics after a large tree limb fell on him. Streets appeared to more green than black, as scores of fallen leaves, trees and other debris obscured the pavement. It was the seventh tornado to hit the city since 2010.

Storms battered New Jersey as well. One forced a stampede of concertgoers to seek shelter at the Beyonce and Jay-Z show at MetLife Stadium. The concert resumed after nearly an hour; Beyonce thanked the crowd for staying around.
