Storm Team 4 says after a steamy and muggy day on Friday, strong storms, especially in the Catskills, Poconos, and Hudson Valley, will begin to pop up that could cause flooding on vulnerable streets and streams.
Friday starts off quiet, meteorologists say, but the humidity will continue during the day. Air quality alerts and heat advisories have been issued for much of the tri-state. Click here for all weather-related alerts.
Spotty showers and storms will begin to develop in the afternoon and evening and will continue through the night into Saturday morning.
Although a few showers may linger into the start of the weekend, dryer air starts to move in again Saturday afternoon, forecasters said. However, an isolated afternoon storm can't be ruled out.
Sunday looks to be the drier day of the weekend and it will be much more comfortable as cooler air settles in. Again, however, there is a slight chance for a few drops of rain.
