Here’s what you need to know:
  • A HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK is in effect through this evening. Dangerous rip currents are expected at Brooklyn and Queens beaches today.
  • It's warm, mostly cloudy, damp and sticky this morning with temperatures in the mid-70s.
  • Today will be hot and humid with a few peeks of sunshine.
  • Scattered showers and storms arrive after 2 p.m. through 10 p.m. The worst of the storm will be after 5 p.m. - 10 p.m. There's an isolated risk for severe storms. The severe threat is dependent on the amount of cloud coverage we have throughout the day. More clouds = lower severe threat. Less clouds = higher chance of severe storms.
  • Damaging winds and flooding downpours is the primary concern. Drenching rain will bring the risk for localized flooding, especially for poor drainage and low-lying areas. Highs will be in the upper 80s. Heat indices will be in the 90s.
  • A few leftover showers takes us into parts of the morning commute tomorrow, before a stellar stretch of sunshine and warm weather take us through Wednesday afternoon through Sunday. There's a slight chance of a rogue shower or storm Thursday evening.
  • Independence Day is warm with pleasant sunshine and low humidity.
  • We've had 10 consecutive weekends with measurable rainfall since late April. The rainy weekend streak will likely end this weekend with a top 10 4th of July weekend forecast in store! Stay tuned for changes!
