Wednesday – a chance of showers and embedded thunderstorms persist through the Wednesday and Thursday timeframe. Temperatures will again be warm in the low 80s ahead of the cold front. Otherwise, generally mostly cloudy skies.

Thursday – the cold front is finally expected to pass through NYC on Thursday. This should set the stage for the best chance of significant precipitation this week. We may again see some thunderstorms, though none severe. Temperatures will cool off a bit with the rain and in the wake of the cold front, with high temperatures in the upper 70s.

The Weekend – as mentioned above, high pressure will set the stage for seasonable temperatures and pleasant conditions during the weekend.
