Could it finally be time for New Yorkers to put away their jackets for the season? 
Not just yet  but there's looking to be a taste of summer very soon, according to local weather forecasters. 
New York Metro Weather, which is run by meteorologist John Homenuk, said on social media that “a significant warmup is heading for NYC starting this weekend, and it could continue into next week as well.” 
The National Weather Service's James Connolly concurred, noting that Saturday's temperatures will be in the 80s. 
“As we get into the weekend, right now we've got highs around 80 for Saturday, and then as we start looking into the next week, it could get fairly hot,” he said. 
But residents will have to deal with cooler climes before then. 
Wednesday is expected to remain partly cloudy, with highs in the upper 60s and low 70s, Connolly said. 
Then, on Thursday, a front will bring cooler temperatures in the 60s, showers and possible thunderstorms, according to NWS. 
The region will start warming up again on Friday, with highs in the upper 60s, Connolly said. 
They’ll rise into the 80s over the weekend and stay on the hotter side through next week, he added.
