Tri-State Area, NY – After a long stretch of dry weather, rain and storms are making their way back to the Tri-State Area this week, signaling the end of the region’s prolonged period of sunshine.
A Gorgeous Wednesday Before the Rain
Tonight, temperatures will drop to around 60°F in the city, with many of the suburbs cooling into the 50s. Under clear skies and light winds, expect some fog to form, especially in the inland sections of New Jersey.
Once the fog and morning chill lift, Wednesday will turn into a beautiful day, with plenty of sunshine and low humidity. Highs will range between 75°F and 80°F, providing a perfect midweek break.
Rain and Warmer Temps Return Thursday
While Thursday will start out dry, the evening hours are likely to bring some showers and thunderstorms to the region. Although widespread heavy rain and severe weather aren’t expected, areas north and west of the city could experience heavier rain showers that may extend into the early hours of Friday morning.
“Rain chances are on the rise, and so are humidity levels,” said a meteorologist. “It’ll feel a lot more like summer by the weekend.”
With the rain, temperatures will also climb, increasing from the upper 70s on Thursday to the low 80s on Friday, bringing back that summer-like feeling.
What to Expect for the Weekend
As the rain continues into Friday, expect humid conditions to persist, with temperatures reaching the mid 80s by the weekend. Keep an eye on the forecast for updates on the rain’s intensity and duration as conditions evolve.
Conclusion
After a sunny and dry start to the week, the Tri-State Area is gearing up for a return to rain and warmer temperatures by Thursday. Stay prepared for showers and increased humidity, especially as the weekend approaches.
