This week has been all about the heat. And we’ll hold onto the sizzling temperatures through the weekend. But we’ll also have strong to severe evening storms to manage.
A severe thunderstorm watch was issued for parts of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut until 10 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.
Here's a breakdown of the weekend weather:

Sunday
Similar to Saturday, Sunday begins rain-free. And this will be another morning where you won’t want to spend much time outside. Humidity will be miserable and temperatures will be in the 90s by midday.

New York City issued an air quality health advisory for sensitive groups --- such as older adults over 65 or children younger than 14, pregnant individuals, outdoor workers, and those with medical conditions --- from 11 a.m. through 11 p.m. Sunday.
Wind damage will be the main threat with the storms on Sunday. The risk is there for tornados but conditions for twisters are more likely in northern Connecticut.
Starting in the early afternoon scattered storms will again make their way through the area.
Unlike Friday and Saturday, the placement and intensity of the storms does not favor one specific region. And as such, the chance for severe weather is area-wide.
These storms have the potential to bring along damaging winds as well as the chance for hail.
Keep in mind, these wind gusts can reach up to 60 mph and are strong enough to knock down tree limbs and impact power lines. Hail up to an inch in diameter can result in minor damage to property.
Unfortunately, this cold front does not do too much in terms of dropping our temperatures.
We'll have to wait until the end of next week for that.
