Extreme Heat Over Flash Flood Watches Up For Heavy Rain Tonight Into Tuesday
The extreme heat has come to an end and last evening’s thunderstorms certainly did the trick. Now we have a cold front approaching and this is an important weather front. First off though for today we will have sunshine giving way to arriving clouds. High temperatures this afternoon will generally reach the upper 80s to around 90 degrees except for South Jersey and Southern Pennsylvania southward where highs will reach the lower 90s.

A marginal risk reaches up to Northern New Jersey, the Hudson Valley, Southwest Connecticut and Long Island.

Since we expect this continue at least the daytime Tuesday significant rainfall amounts of 3 to 4 inches will be common place and given it summer, in these sorts of situations if a cluster of slow moving thunderstorms and heavy rain sits over one particular area for a long period of time, rain fall amounts could easily be 50 to 75 percent higher than advertised.
