A temporary decrease in humidity occurs later today, but will be followed by the return of unsettled weather this weekend. Another upper level low may deflect heat from the region next week, and lead to an increasing chance of showers.
Showers and storms are likely again this afternoon, and a warmer than normal pattern is expected to stick around for at least two weeks.
Dust from the Saharan Desert will advect westward from Africa into the Caribbean, eventually reaching the Gulf of Mexico next week.
The weather pattern is likely to become warmer and more active, with rising humidity in the NYC Area by later this week and continuing into next week.
