Heading into Saturday morning will be a wet one across the Tri-State, with showers and thunderstorms continuing through the front half of the day. Expect periods of heavy rain at times.
There is a concern for flooding, and a FLOOD WATCH is out through Saturday morning as repeated rounds of rain may lead to water collecting on roads and in low-lying areas. While the overall severe weather threat remains limited, a few stronger storms could still produce gusty winds.
The Storm Prediction Center has us under a “Marginal Risk” for severe storms. Overnight temperatures will settle into the upper 60s.
As we head into the weekend, showers and thunderstorms will remain likely through Saturday morning before gradually tapering during the afternoon. Keep the umbrella handy early in the day, but you'll notice improving conditions as the rainmaker pulls away. Highs will reach the lower 80s under mostly cloudy skies, and by Saturday evening, only an isolated shower or storm remains possible before drier weather takes over.
Sunday brings a much-needed change, with partly sunny skies and warmer temperatures climbing into the middle 80s. There’s a small chance of a shower.
The sunshine sticks around as we head into next week, but so does a building stretch of summer heat. High temperatures will climb into the lower 90s from Monday through the end of the week, while nighttime lows stay well into the 70s, offering very little relief after sunset.
Warm, humid air will continue flowing into the Tri-State, making it feel increasingly uncomfortable through the middle of the week. Heat Indices, or "feels-like" temps, will stretch to around 105°, putting us near the dangerous heat zone.
If you have outdoor plans, be prepared for several days of hot weather, and keep an eye out for possible heat advisories as the extended stretch of heat continues right into the 4th of July weekend.
