Synopsis:
The high responsible for the heat of the last seven days will give way to a significant cool front working in from the West. A Flash Flood Watch has been posted for much of the tri-state area into this afternoon. The most likely areas for flooding to occur will be the regions that experienced the heavy rain two days ago. One to locally three inches of rain or more is possible. If you encounter a flooded roadway- TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN.
The front should clear the coast later in the day with the sun returning. Today will be humid to start but by late afternoon a dramatic drop in the humidity will occur.
Relief will finally arrive by tomorrow. The weekend looks fantastic with abundant sunshine, cooler temperatures and very low humidity as high pressure from the Great Lakes moves in. It’s about time!
Stay tuned.
