Discussion
It’ll remain very humid today in the NYC metro region and there will again be the chance for PM showers and thunderstorms. Any shower or thunderstorm later today can produce heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding as they will be slow movers and there is a tremendous amount of available low-level moisture. A cold front will cross the region later tonight and usher in slightly cooler and drier air for the late week and at least part of the upcoming weekend is looking rather promising from this mid-week vantage point.
