Heat advisory returns for NYC area. How long will it last?
Most the New York City area is back under a heat advisory Wednesday, and it's expected to last for days. We've also got a better chance of showers today, unfortunately. After a rather dry Tuesday, pop-up showers will speckle the Tri-State Area this afternoon, maybe even a thunderstorm or two. So, it won't be a washout, but have the umbrella handy just in case.

This is doubly true of a technology such as Breitling’s thermo-compensated SuperQuartz, which the brand says is 10 times more accurate than your average, run-of-the-mill battery-powered movement.
