We're stuck in a soaking pattern that will produce light to moderate rain. The good news is at least it will clear the air of any allergens. However, flooding will be an issue for some parts of our borough. Up to 2 inches of rain is possible by tomorrow evening.
Parts of Tuesday are trending drier at times, but still multiple rain chances and the opportunity for thunderstorms in the second half of the day.
Because of the ongoing threat for rain, we have a good shot at eliminating our deficit for the year. Our borough is still in an abnormally dry category.
Temperatures will be in the 60s for the beginning of this week. Then we rebound into the low 70s for Wednesday and Thursday. Friday, we drop back down to the lower 60s. For this time of May, we expect the higher 60s for high temperatures so we are flirting with that on and off for the next week.
MONDAY: Rounds of rain. At times drier, but then another wave of rain will move through. Showers intensify into the evening and night. Pockets of moderate to heavy rain likely. A chance of thunderstorms. Temperatures in the middle 60s.
TUESDAY: More rain. Drier periods in between but still a few rounds with downpours and thunderstorms possible. Highs in the middle 60s.
REST OF THE WEEK: Rain chances linger, but trending drier for the second half of the work and school week. Low to mid 70s for Wednesday and Thursday then back to the 60s for Friday.
