RAIN HELD ON FOR MUCH OF THE DAY IN SOME SPOTS

While parts of the city and west remained cloudy, eastern areas held onto the rain for most of the day. JFK airport had rain reported for several hours in a row, long after the expected stop time of around dusk.

The storm system responsible for this is stuck nearby, and meandered in a southward direction this afternoon. This allowed rainbands to build back into eastern sections.

All in all, not a bad outlook for the rain, but some areas did see rain for longer than advertised here

EARLY SUMMER SOAKER WILL MOVE THROUGH LATE TUESDAY INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY...

PREDICTABILITY OF FORECAST PERIOD: medium

1. Pattern is quiet until late afternoon/evening Tuesday (tomorrow), before heavy rain and thunderstorms develop and persist into early Wednesday. Rainfall should last 6-9 hours in any one location, and fall mostly in a  5pm-5am window. Some lingering numerous showers could persist through the morning commute, before rain quits for good Wednesday afternoon. Highs kept in check by clouds and rain through the period.

NOAA Rainfall amounts (Generally around an inch, with some isolated totals to two inches).

2. For the remainder of the week, broken cloudiness will persist, along with winds off the relatively cool ocean. While temps will remain somewhat cool,  the recent threat of daily doses of rain will be few if any through the weekend.

Intellicast Temps not all that toasty for June:




Intellicast cloud coverage:





3. Huge disparity between last year's hot start for nation as a whole, and this year. Threat of no recorded 90-degree days in NYC looking like a real possibility now as we head towards mid and late month.
