Humid stretch with pop-up storms continues around NYC area. When will we see the sun?

Another day means another round of showers for the New York City area, but the good news is there’s hope around the corner.

We kicked the day off with some showers, which were just enough to dampen parts of the area. Unfortunately, showers will linger into the afternoon with perhaps a downpour here and there, so you’ll need to keep that umbrella handy. And although it’s a stretch, a strong or even severe thunderstorm can’t be ruled out, so do be mindful if you’re out on the roads. 

Things will conveniently quiet down for the Subway Series tonight, though expect some lingering clouds and perhaps a passing shower. Otherwise, it will be another muggy one with dew points around 70 degrees – yuck!

Now for some uplifting news: Tomorrow’s our transition day! Positioned just ahead of a cold front, our area will still be at risk for a passing shower, but the models continue to trend drier with this system. That said, we’ll leave in a chance, but certainly don’t expect a washout. Also, dew points should start to fall off late in the day, so it shouldn’t feel quite as humid by then.

As for Friday, it looks like high pressure will start to nudge in, providing abundant sunshine, seasonally warm temperatures and even less humid conditions.

Here’s to looking forward!
