a southwest wind there, the new york harbor, water temperature about 76 degrees there. and out across long island 77 degrees and the wind is kind of gusting up to around 19 miles an hour. some nice weather on the sound and just a beautiful day all the way around on this labor day with that west southwest wind. so for the afternoon we're looking at about 90, between 2 and 4. it is going to tap 90 degrees, and then it will be a nice wonderful evening to end unofficially the summer of 2015, but tomorrow afternoon, we've got school tomorrow and back to work all that good stuff. the real feels will be in the mid to upper 90s west of the city. we'll be in the 80s across long island. we're looking at a southwest wind this afternoon, waves 2 to 4 in 2 in the sound and that low risk of rip currents at the jersey shore. a moderate risk at the new york beaches and long island on the south shore with that southwest wind. 90 today, 93 tomorrow, that's the record for the day, 93 set back in 1919.

we'll see if we break that. 80s at the beach. 73, clear and comfy tonight, tomorrow we're at 93. we'll see if we break a record. we are in a september heat wave which in and of itself is rather unusual. 91 on wednesday, and then a thunderstorm starts to cool us down for the end of the week with that cold front pushing through and that cools us down for the end of the week. i've got to go, i've got my bathing suit. >> not so fast mister, not so fast. >> i can't say i blame you though. thanks bill. >> all right. >> so here's the thing, facebook apparently may be hurting your relationship with your significant other, at least according to a therapist here in new york. he says couples who unfriend each other on the social network are more likely to stay together. he says facebook makes it easier to avoid face-to-face conversations. a sure sign that fall is just around the corner. >> the pumpkin spice latte loved by some, reviled by others has officially returned to the menu. starbucks says there's a new recipe this year.
