DECREASING HEAT, BUT INCREASING STORM THREATS THIS WEEK

1. Repetitive pattern which has dominated the summer thus far will settle in again, making it easy to see temps lowering for high temps, but just as hard to pinpoint rain chances this week.  Buckling of the jet stream is once again responsible.

WPC: Jet stream through Monday

2. PRECIP: Most days are fair game for an afternoon thunderstorm for north and west of NYC. City and points east have their best chances Monday, Wednesday, Thursday night/Friday.  Heavier, more widespread rainfall looks like it would happen for a good part of Friday, as front stalls in our vicinity.  Saturday, the chances for rain diminish except for in the late afternoon; Sunday's the better bet, with even less chance for afternoon storms. 

3. TEMPS:  Cooling off each day, with bust potential for Friday if steady, widespread rains do develop. Windiest day will be Wednesday. 

WPC: Highs for Friday and Saturday:

4. Tropics will turn active, with the Southeast US at risk for at least heavy rains late week in to next week.
