The First Alert Weather Team at CBS News New York has issued First Alert Weather Days that will continue until the end of the work week. These days are being issued because of the heat, storms, and flood concerns.
There is a possibility of storms occurring on Wednesday, which is followed by a threat of flooding on Thursday and Friday. The heat and humidity levels are expected to be high on Wednesday.
Warnings and Advisories
The entire region is under a heat advisory that will remain in place until Wednesday evening at eight o’clock.
Up until eight o’clock on Wednesday evening, a warning for excessive heat is in force for the northeastern region of New Jersey.
All regions, with the exception of the upper Hudson Valley, are under a warning on the quality of the air until 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday.
There are ideal circumstances in the sky for a double meteor shower.
Tuesday was the second day of the current heatwave, and it turned out to be another record-breaking day. Some areas, like as Newark and LaGuardia Airport, reached the hundred mark during this heatwave. Warm and muggy conditions are expected to continue through Tuesday night, with low temperatures ranging from 70 to 80 degrees for the most part.
It will be a good night for those who are hoping to catch a peek of the double meteor shower that will occur on Tuesday night. Over the course of the Tri-State Area, the sky conditions should be nearly ideal for witnessing both the Alpha Capricornids and the Southern Delta Aquariids. It is quite unusual for there to be two meteor showers occurring at the same time.
The prospect of thunderstorms is revived on Wednesday.
Due to the fact that the anticipated low temperature of 80 is identical to the record high low temperature of 80, Central Park may set a new record for the highest minimum temperature on Wednesday morning.
Wednesday is going to be another day that is going to be really hot. High temperatures are expected to reach the middle to upper 90s once more, with heat indices falling into the low 100s.
There will be sunshine for the majority of the day, but by the late afternoon hours, there is a chance that isolated severe thunderstorms could show up again. The winds that are harmful would be the most significant dangers that are related with these storms. As the sun goes down, these storms should have subsided.
There is a risk of flooding rain on Thursday and Friday days.
The most significant cause for concern, on the other hand, is the possibility of flooding rains that are now developing for Thursday. The likelihood of severe thunderstorms is low; nevertheless, prediction models are predicting that rounds of persistent heavy rain and thunderstorms will develop over the region, which could result in rainfall of between two and four inches.
