AccuWeather: More humid, late thunderstorms
AccuWeather forecast for NYC, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
NEW YORK (WABC) -- A little more warmth and humidity return to the forecast today, but it is still shaping up to be a solid late-summer day overall.
After a pleasant start with temperatures mainly in the 60s, highs will climb into the low 80s this afternoon under a mix of sun and clouds. Humidity levels will gradually increase through the day as a more unsettled weather pattern begins to move in.
Most of the morning and early afternoon look dry, but scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible later this afternoon and evening. Not everyone will see rain, and it is far from a washout, but any storm could bring brief downpours, gusty winds and lightning.
If you have outdoor plans, there is no need to cancel them, but it is a good idea to keep an eye on the sky and have an umbrella handy for the late afternoon and evening hours.
The pattern remains similar Monday, with a mix of sun and clouds, low 80s and a few scattered showers or storms. More widespread storm chances arrive Tuesday and continue through the middle of the week as a more active weather pattern settles into the region.
Looking ahead to Labor Day weekend, the forecast is trending drier, with more sunshine and temperatures settling back into the upper 70s.
