Synopsis:
A weak disturbance both in the upper levels of the atmosphere and the surface will be responsible for scattered storms into early tonight. Some of the storms maybe severe with locally damaging winds and flooding rains. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 10PM for much of the NYC tri-state area. Muggy and warm conditions are expected overnight under a partly cloudy sky.
A bubble of hot air will work into the region as a Bermuda high sets up shop for mid to late week. The hottest temperatures of the season so far are expected as a heat wave grips the region. Heat Index will approach 100º. Scattered storms are possible late in the day Thursday as a weak front works through from the West.
The hot temperatures may very well stick around into the upcoming weekend.
Please take it slow outdoors. Drink plenty of fluids. Check on the elderly and pets. Listen to your body, if you feel dizzy or fatigue take a break and try to stay in air-conditioned or cooler areas.
Stay tuned.
Keep it here for a no hype, no nonsense forecast.
