Intense storms forecast for this afternoon and evening are threatening the long weekend in the tri-state area, but good weather will prevail, according to experts.

Today Saturday will initially be a “typical muggy summer day” with a high of 89F (32C), before conditions deteriorate significantly as a cold front slow-moving move between late afternoon and evening, bringing rain, strong winds and abundant lightningsaid Greg Diamond, a meteorologist for Fox Weather.

“These storms could become severe,” potentially with winds of more than 60 mph in cities on the East Coast, including from Washington DC to Boston. “It will be spread throughout the region,” Diamond said. “It will be unpleasant.”

Despite the good start, today will be “virtually” a washout for anyone who ventures to the beaches and coasts. “So Saturday is not a great day,” the expert predicted. “The good news is that by (tomorrow) Sunday, the front will have moved and a much better day is expected.”

Sunny skies and temperatures in the 80F (27C) are expected to return on Sunday in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, along with a lower humidity, which should make any outing more enjoyable.

The same is estimated on Independence Day Monday, although some scattered showers may arrive later. No precipitation is expected to disrupt the local fireworks festivities, including Macy’s 46th annual display along the East River, Diamond predicted.

“Sunday and Monday will be fantastic days to go to the beach,” summarized. And he added that he wasn’t too worried about the possibility of emerging showers throughout the tri-state area.
