Synopsis:
A strong front will be working East today. At the same time a tropical airmass will be in place. This will set the stage for possible severe thunderstorms and flash flooding later today and this evening. A Flash Flood Watch has been posted for much of the tri-state area including NYC. 1″-3″ of rain is a possibility. The storms and downpours look to move in from West to East after 3pm. There is an enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms for a large chunk of the area just away from the coast. What this means is that conditions are ripe for the formation of severe storms. Severe thunderstorms contain winds in excess of 57mph and or 3/4″ hail. Obviously, with any storm, frequent cloud to ground lightning and heavy rain is possible. Please keep an eye to the sky for threatening weather.
Tuesday will be much less humid under partly sunny skies. The weather will be picture perfect mid-week.
Stay tuned.
