AccuWeather: Thunderstorm or two

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Saturday brings a mix of clouds and sunshine and feels a bit less muggy, though a thunderstorm or two could pop up from late morning onward as highs climb to 81.

Clouds may also interfere with Saturday night's Manhattanhenge viewing, so keep an eye on the sky if you're heading out to catch it. Lows settle near 67.

The weekend looks like the pick of the week. Sunday is shaping up to be the better of the two days, with plenty of sunshine, low humidity, and a high of 83.

The warm-up begins in earnest on Monday, with sunshine for much of the day and a high of 86. From there, temperatures take off. The good news is that, unlike the humid stretch leading up to the Fourth of July, this heat won't come with the same oppressive humidity, so it should feel noticeably more comfortable even as the numbers climb.
