The next ten days starting today will be characterized by a lot of bouts with wet weather, including thunderstorms. The exception will be days where it's completely dry; we're likely to see a brief respite Wednesday and much of the weekend, but every other day is dicey.
The prospects for storms will oscillate as we head through the course of the work week. this is due to the fact that a front will be bouncing around our neck of the woods for days. So while at first, the front ushers in progressively very muggy conditions by Monday-Wednesday, it turns cool for the balance of Wednesday, before getting muggy again by Thursday!
Humid air masses and nearby fronts will lead to frequent spells of primarily afternoon and early evening rainfalls this week, which should easily average several inches for most locations.

Severe thunderstorms may occur thursday. The ingredients are there for unusually intense storms (more to follow later).
DAILY HIGHLIGHTS:
TODAY; Periods of showers, ending after midnight.
MONDAY: Some clearing, but slow-moving thunderstorms will threaten the region in the late afternoon. Heavy downpours a good bet with any one storm. Storms clear the region by late evening, but fog will develop late.
TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY: Best chance for storms will be north and west of NYC in the afternoon, with lesser chances towards the city and coast.
THURSDAY: Best chance for widespread strong to severe thunderstorms to develop and move from west to east in the evening.
FRIDAY-MONDAY: Looking dry, but temps will be held to near 70, with 60s at the shoreline.

Overall, a low confidence scenario for the upcoming week, so updates will be needed.
