It's a beautiful start to your Thursday and the daytime should remain dry despite increasing clouds. More much needed rain is on the way tonight, but the rain could wash out some plans for Friday evening and Saturday.
An update to the drought situation in the city will be released this morning at 8 a.m. As of last week, all five boroughs were classified under a severe drought. Although rainfall for the month of June is now only slightly below average after Monday and Tuesday's rain, we are still running more than 5" below average since January 1st. This is a deficit of more than 1 month's worth of rain.
