Good morning everyone. Clouds have returned to the Northeast as our next front will linger over the next few days, and bring us some much needed rain to parts of the area. Light to moderate rain and a few rumbles of thunder are heading through central parts of New York and Pennsylvania, which desperately need it.
That rain will try and make it to parts of New Jersey and NYC/Long Island, but it might fizzle out into some scattered showers or even nothing at all. A better chance of a few showers looks to be on Wednesday and Thursday before sunshine returns on Friday.
The front responsible for rain in the Northeast, stretches all the way back into Texas. Along it, we are seeing areas of heavy showers and thunderstorms. Some of these areas are also in need of soaking rains, and they will get it. Areas of rain and rumbles stretch from northeast and central Texas, into southeast Oklahoma, then into Missouri and central/lower Illinois.
Unfortunately, there will be a severe weather component to this as the day wears on. Look for this energy across the mentioned areas to set off some embedded severe thunderstorms, especially in parts of Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana. We could also see some locally severe weather in the Ohio River Valley. Expect locally damaging winds, large hail, frequent lightning, and torrential rain.
In the long range we continue to watch the tropics for action entering the Gulf of Mexico. The west coast of Florida, including the panhandle, will be watching this closely as we could have a hurricane on our hands by late week. While too much rain is not a good thing, the positive aspect is that much needed rain is expected in northern Georgia and eastern Tennessee as the result of any tropical remnants.
Here is your local NYC Metro forecast –
SATELLITE
The clouds are here to stay for several days and we could see a few scattered light showers today. Highs in the low 70’s. The same goes for tomorrow, with more low 70’s as well.

Sunshine returns on Friday for a dry day in the mid 70’s once again.
