Synopsis:
A warm front will move through the region this morning with early scattered showers. Hazy sun, hot and humid conditions are expected today. Readings will flirt with 90º. A disturbance will move into the region later in the day and evening with another round of scattered storms. Some of these storms maybe turn severe. Much of the area is in an enhanced region of severe thunderstorms (map above). Severe thunderstorms contain either winds in excess of 58mph and or one inch hail. Frequent cloud to ground lighting and torrential rain is possible with any storm. I’d like to point out that looking at the latest guidance that much of these storms don’t look to develop until late afternoon (North) and early evening in the NYC vicinity. Also, the bullseye for the activity looks to be North of the City with other areas to the South really not getting into the action. Stay tuned, but this is how I see it as of this writing.
Friday will be warm and humid under a mix of sun and clouds. A weak boundary will be draped over the region. This will spark an isolated storm later in the day. Much of the region will be storm-free.
Saturday is the greatest threat for showers and storms as a cool front approaches and the remnants of tropical system Laura move through.
Sunday will be the better half of the weekend with a refreshing Northwest wind and mostly sunny skies.
Stay Tuned.
