Weekly Planner: Strong T-Storms & Heavy Rainfall Likely Later Today
Good morning! There is increasing potential for some heavy rainfall and strong to severe thunderstorms later this afternoon and evening, as a cold front approaches. Before that though, it will be just be hot and humid with high temperatures reaching the mid-upper 80s or lower 90s over the urban I-95 corridor, with more sunshine into at least early this afternoon. It will be a little cooler, with sea-breezes later, closer to the shore. But southerly winds will continuing to transport tropical moisture into the area, with dewpoints in the lower to middle 70s. This will lead to heat index values in the middle or upper 90s, again this afternoon. Thus a heat advisory continues for Northeast NJ and NYC for today.
