AccuWeather: Not as hot, PM storm
AccuWeather forecast for NYC, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Relief from the heat arrives on Sunday as much cooler air moves into the region. High temperatures are expected to reach only the lower 80s, aided by easterly winds flowing in from the cooler waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
While an afternoon shower or thunderstorm is possible, the greatest chance will be west of New York City.
The weather pattern turns more unsettled Sunday night as showers and thunderstorms redevelop across the area. While severe weather is not expected, forecasters are concerned about the potential for heavy rain. Rainfall totals of 2 to 3 inches are possible in some locations from late Sunday through Monday, which could lead to localized flooding despite ongoing drought conditions across much of the region. Wet weather may persist through Monday night and even into early Tuesday before conditions begin to improve.
The unsettled pattern lingers into Tuesday with clouds, humidity, and a chance of showers, while temperatures remain unusually cool in the mid-70s. After that, the weather improves. Wednesday will bring breaks of sunshine and temperatures around 82 degrees before readings climb back into the upper 80s later in the week. While temperatures will not approach the extreme heat experienced recently, humidity will increase, and another chance of thunderstorms may return by Friday into Saturday.
