NYC Weather Update – Jul 16, 2018

This week starts off hot and humid before we get a break from the humidity as a cold front rolls through late Tuesday. This will be a relatively strong front, and with plenty of moisture in place prior to its passage, bouts of heavy rain are possible with the thunderstorms accompany it. Although high temperatures won’t dip too much following the cold front, dew points will, and this will bring a much drier and more comfortable feel.

Rest of today – hot, humid, with high temperatures in the low-90s. A heat advisory is in effect due to the combination of hot temperatures and high dew points making for an oppressive, muggy day.

Tuesday – increasing clouds, high temperatures in the upper-80s prior to the onset of showers and thunderstorms later in the afternoon, going into the evening hours and overnight. The set up of the atmosphere tomorrow could allow for some marginally severe storms to develop. The primary threat will be from heavy rain and some strong wind gusts given the moisture in place and somewhat favorable shear.

Wednesday – mostly sunny with highs in the mid-80s but more comfortable with dew points significantly lower behind the cold front. Refreshing northerly winds should make for a nice day.

Thursday – another great day with sunny skies and with highs in the mid-80s.
