FRIDAY MORNING. GREAT TIME OF DAY HERE. IT'S 5:42. CHECK IN WITH THE WEATHER WATCHERS. FIRST, CHECK IN WITH JOHN AND TONY. TONY IS IN CENTRAL PARK THIS MORNING. >> Reporter: HEY THERE, CHRIS, A LOVELY STRETCH. IT DOES APPEAR, CHRIS, THAT WE'LL START TO PUMP THE BRAKES ON THIS FALL WEATHER. GET BACK TO MORE OF A SUMMER REALITY CHECK. BUT REALLY, SOME GORGEOUS WEATHER IN STORE. TODAY SIMPLY SPECTACULAR. PRIME WEATHER IS HEADED INTO THE WEEKEND BEFORE WE START TO DISTURB THIS PATTERN A LITTLE BIT. HEADING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. I HEAR SOME BIKER GOING BY. TEMPERATURE RIGHT NOW, ABOUT 63 DEGREES. SO STILL, I WOULD SAY, PLEASANTLY COOL IN THE CITY. KEEP IN MIND, THERE ARE PLENTY OF YOU WAKING UP TO 50s OUT IN SOME OF THE SUBURBS. ANY KIND OF LONG SLEEVES YOU HAVE ON THIS MORNING, MAYBE WARRANTED, BUT YOU'RE QUICKLY SHEDDING IT AS TEMPERATURES START TO WARM UP. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE PATTERN WE'RE IN FOR. AND OFF WE GO. IT'S A SUMMER STRETCH FOR SURE. KIND OF KICK THAT LOW OUT TO THE SIDE. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN. NOW WE'RE STARTING TO PUMP IN THAT SOUTHERLY WIND. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE, HIGHS IN THE 80s. DEW POINTS IN THE 60s. TRICKLE BACK OF HUMIDITY, TOO, AS WE SAY GOOD-BYE TO THE 50s. 70s IN THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR. 81 WILL FEEL DELIGHTFUL TODAY. BY SUNDAY, 85. HUMIDITY WORKING BACK IN. QUICK CHECK OF THE DROUGHT MONITOR BEFORE WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS CLOSELY. AND JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY OUT OF A DROUGHT, THE EXCEPTION, PARTS OF OCEAN COUNTY STILL ABSOLUTELY NORMALLY DRY. THE PRICE WE HAD TO PAY WITH ALL THE FLOODING IMPACTS WE'VE HAD IN RECENT DAYS. IT DOES LOOK LIKE AS WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, A LOT OF OUR REPORTING SITES AT A SURPLUS FOR THE MONTH. WE ERASED THE DEFICIT WE HAD FOR THE SUMMER. THAT IS A REMINDER, THE RAIN CHANCES WILL BE SLOW TO RETURN. I KNOW JOHN, YOU'RE WATCHING, WHEN THOSE RAIN CHANCES MAKE A COMEBACK IN THE FORECAST, CHECKING IN WITH THE WEATHER WATCHERS ON THIS FRIDAY, WHO ARE COMMENTING ON THE WIND THIS MORNING. >> IT'S A VERY INTERESTING WIND ANNIVERSARY TODAY, AND SALUTING THE WEATHER WATCHERS FOR REMINDING ME ABOUT WHAT THE WIND CAN DO. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT IT. FIRST OFF, WHAT CAN THERMOMETERS DO? THEY CAN MEASURE TEMPERATURES. UPPER 40s, LOW 50s. WEATHER WATCHERS TO THE NORTH. MORE COOL READINGS. ALWAYS WARMER FOR ELAINA. IF I CAN DO THIS RIGHT, I WANT TO THANK RICH, REPORTING 54. HE'S ALSO REMINDING US THAT TODAY IS INNER NERD DAY. SO WAY TO GO. AND BY THE WAY, AS WE GET READY TO EMBARK ON THE SCHOOL SEASON, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU AS A DAD OF A DAUGHTER WHO HE ADORES, ENCOURAGE YOUR KIDS TO BE A NERD. IF THEY HAVE SOME KIND OF SCIENCE, THEY LIKE TO EXPLORE, LET THEM EXPLORE IT AND KEEP THEM CURIOUS. SPONGE CAKE DAY, BEAUTIFUL CLOUDS YESTERDAY, STATEN ISLAND, I MEAN, WE DID HAVE THAT WILD MIX. EVEN OUT IN WEST ESSEX, WE HAD THAT. RON WAS GOING BOATING TODAY, BEAUTIFUL SHOT THERE OF A FALCON. AND THIS IS AN ANAMOMETER. WE USE TO MEASURE THE WIND. THIS IS ACTUALLY RIDE THE WIND DAY IN COMMEMORATION OF THIS DAY IN 1977, THE CONDOR, IT WAS THE FIRST -- IT WAS HISTORY OF A MANPOWERRED FLIGHT. REMEMBER THE CONDAR, IT WAS A THING THEY DID. AND IT WAS MANNED FLIGHT. THAT THING JUST WENT AND WENT AND WENT. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE WIND NOW. IF YOU ARE CATCHING A FLIGHT, AND YOU CAN TELL FROM THIS. WE'RE GOING TO SEE WINDS NOT VERY GUSTY, BUT YOU'RE GOING SEE A DRY WIND TODAY. BUT WATCH WHAT HAPPENS AS WE WORK OUR WAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. SEE THAT SHIFT IN THE WIND? MORE SOUTHERLY WIND. WILL DO A FEW THINGS. IT WILL WARM US UP. IT WILL ALSO BRING IN MORE HUMIDITY. IT WILL BE MOVING THAT POLLEN AROUND, TOO, AND POLLEN HAS BEEN RELATIVELY STATIC AND BY THAT, I MEAN, IT IS STILL HIGH. SO YOU NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT. AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL THE HUMIDITY. ALL OF THAT RIDING ON THE WINGS OF THAT CHANGING WIND. NOW AS FAR AS TIMING OUT THE SHOWERS TODAY, NO, IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT. IT'S GOING TO BE NICE AND DRY. MAYBE A CLOUD OR TWO. NOT AS MUCH AS WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE LAST FEW DAYS AS FAR AS CLOUD COVER. SATURDAY IS GREAT. SUNDAY, WE MAY WRAP UP THE WEEKEND WITH AN ISOLATED SHOWER. BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE MUCH COVERAGE. MONDAY IS GOING TO BE THE BUSY DAY, MINDFUL OF THAT FOR THE U.S. OPEN. WE TALK ABOUT THE NUMBERS BACK. IT'S GOING TO FEEL LIKE AUGUST AS WE WORK OUR WAY INTO THE WEEKEND. HEY, NEXT TIME WE CHAT, I BELIEVE THIS IS THE FINAL WEEKEND FOR SUMMER STREETS. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT AND A LOT OF FUN GOING ON SUNDAY IN BROOKLYN, WHERE YOU MIGH
