High Tides

New York City 82/ 71 Tr

Metropolitan Forecast

TODAY ..................Showers, thunderstorms

High 76. A low pressure system moving

slowly north along the coast will bring

clouds, with frequent showers and thun-

derstorms, even steadier rain. Heavy

rainfall can cause flooding in some areas.

TONIGHT .....................A few thunderstorms

Low 70. The low pressure system will

continue to affect the area. The sky will

remain cloudy and there will be another

few showers or thunderstorms. The air

will feel quite humid.

TOMORROW .........................Thunderstorms

High 81. The low pressure system will

move away, but some moisture will linger.

There will be sunshine at times, but also

thunderstorms in spots. It will be warm.

SUNDAY ..........Humid, with some sunshine

High pressure moving in will bring a large-

ly rain-free day, with sunshine winning

over clouds. The sunshine will further

warm the air and it will be somewhat

humid, with a light breeze.

MONDAY

TUESDAY ..................Very warm and humid

Monday will be rather hot and humid, with

some sunshine and a small chance for

thunderstorms late. High 90. Tuesday will

bring clouds and sunshine, with a chance

for thunderstorms. High 88.

Showers and thunderstorms will again

erupt in portions of the Appalachians,

Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, as a pocket

of cool air from the Midwest comes in

contact with warm and humid air along

the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. Some of the

storms can be heavy and gusty, with the

greatest potential for downed trees and

flash flooding in the areas that were hit by

Isaias this week.

A few storms over the Plains will be

severe, especially across the north where
