NEW YORK — Thunderstorms threaten the tri-state area Monday and Tuesday, with severe weather possible both days before some of the hottest weather of the year hits. This sweltering heat will continue in the area through the weekend.
In advance of the anticipated heat wave, a brief pattern of unsettled weather will bring storm systems to the New York City metropolitan area during the first part of the week. By Monday, the best chance for stronger storms will be to the north and west of the city.
The primary threat with these storms will be damaging wind gusts and large hail with some isolated flooding and a very low chance of a tornado development. By tonight, the rain will move away, with the possibility of storms returning tomorrow afternoon with increased humidity and temperatures.
Tuesday’s storms will be more spread out across the area, but will bring similar risks for severe weather.
Then the heat comes, and it will be very hot for the rest of the week. Temperatures will top 90 degrees Wednesday and highs will stay around that level through Saturday. Friday looks to be the hottest yet with highs expected to be around 95.
Heat index levels on Thursday and Friday will likely be in the 95-100 range, possibly even exceeding 100 on Friday.
Highs will peak Friday and Saturday before a front drops temperatures 10 to 15 degrees for Sunday and Monday.
