Sunday
Sunday will be a washout. A cooler breeze out of the southeast will develop. Light rain is likely in the morning, with a few pockets of steadier rain by the afternoon and evening. Most of these showers are just a nuisance but flooding is possible where the heaviest rain develops in the afternoon and evening. Up to 2" of rain will fall in some neighborhoods.
Next week
The weather next week will be breezy, cool and fall-like. There is a risk of more rain, especially through the middle and late week period.
As the cold front drops south on Monday, things are trending a bit drier for the tri-state area. Rain showers are possible again Tuesday into Wednesday as a storm develops along the front and remains offshore.
There is a high level of uncertainty as of Saturday evening's forecast as to what happens after Wednesday with the coastal low. This will keep it breezy and cool. Depending on how close it is, there could be more rain involved. There could also be a threat of some coastal flooding.
