SATELLITE
The satellite picture shows cloud free conditions and these storms won’t get close for another couple of hours. They will be racing against sunset. Once the daytime heating gets cut off, these storms should start to weaken as they move east. Strong gusty winds of 50 knots or higher are possible in stronger storms.
WEATHER RADAR
While the extreme heat ends to day, the humidity does not. It continues tomorrow and there will be another round of thunderstorms that could produce heavy rains later Thursday into Thursday night. Severe weather risk continues on Thursday.
The risk area does shift southward Thursday with higher risk areas in Southern New Jersey to about NYC and Western Long Island but this area could be extended and nudged further north. Heavy rain could be the bigger issues Thursday into Friday with amounts of 2 inches or more possible. Additional rain is likely into early Friday.
We still remain cautiously optimistic that weather conditions will improve as we move through the weekend. Saturday could be a housecleaning day of leftover clouds but there may be some sun in the mix along with scattered showers. An upper trough needs to move through. Temperatures and humidity will be down Friday through Sunday. Daytime highs will be in the 70s and nights will be in the 50s to lower 60s. Sunday looks to be a partly sunny day and Monday looks mostly sunny. Temperatures Monday will be back into the 80s.
