A foggy start gives way to sunshine and warmer temperatures across the tri-state. Morning haze and patchy fog will clear out, leading to a bright afternoon with highs in the low 70s in the city and even warmer inland. Coastal areas, especially Long Island, will stay cooler due to the ocean breeze. But changes are ahead — clouds build later this week, with rain moving in by Friday night. A coastal system could bring a cool, wet and windy stretch into the weekend, with temperatures dropping into the 40s and 50s.
