SIGN UP Any thunder will likely be west or south of New York City, which could see light showers as opposed to the torrential rain forecast earlier. The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center has modified its severe weather forecast for Tuesday night as well.
It has scaled back the “likely" threat area to include mainly Maryland and Virginia.
Clouds persist on Wednesday, even though the rain will have moved out apart from a passing shower. Expect above-average temperatures near 90 degrees.
The weather cools back down to the more tenable low 80s on Wednesday and should stay there through the early part of next week, though Friday could bring some showers. It looks to be a picture-perfect weekend, though, so keep the grill tools close.
