NEW YORK (WABC) -- A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 9:00 p.m. for New York City and much of the Tri-State area.

A storm or two could develop late in the day, especially west of the city. Any storms could bring downpours and gusty winds.

A better opportunity for showers and thunderstorms arrives Tuesday, ushering in a more typical August pattern. The increased activity should help lower humidity levels and bring temperatures back to more seasonable readings in the mid-80s during the second half of next week.

While a weak system could trigger another chance of thunderstorms on Thursday, conditions are expected to become less humid by Friday, offering a return to more comfortable summer weather.
