especially over the last month and now this seems like a different type of week. we feel the same now and then things start to change a little bit. so let's go ahead and go outside, we have sunshine, also have a lot of clouds off to the north and west and that's where our camera is pointed. we had strong storms earlier, they are really diminishing, we just don't have the support locally for big storms. that's happening upstate and into parts of new england, we are at 86. south wind has helped because that's coming off the ocean, that tends to choke off a thunderstorm and we have the pressure right now holding steady, managed to reach 90 degrees in central park, six above average, sunset tonight at 8:10, should be pretty. humidity sticks around through tomorrow, and it's even higher in the morning and starts to back off a little bit in the afternoon, there can still be a spotty storm around, i'll tell you where in a moment. best bet is wednesday, lots of sunshine, low humidity, the clouds will start to gather on thursday, i'm sure you're hearing about the late week rain threat and you're already concerned about your plans for friday. still have questions with that. get to that

pleasant by the time we get to tomorrow night. wednesday there's a spot thunderstorm overnight, especially north and west, although once we get into the wee hours of the morning there could be a shower just about anywhere, early clouds give way to sun tomorrow, and then a nice westerly breeze, more sun coming out and a spotty storm in the afternoon. there are the showers that have weakened considerably since about 3:00 this afternoon, there's still a little feisty downpour here that's racing through sussex county toward frankfort, brief and a lot of these showers are going to continue to fall apart but we are getting the blowoff clouds to get to the coast. even if it looks dark in the city and down the island, it's unlikely the showers are going to reach you at least in the next few hours as they weaken. overnight, as the humidity begins to increase, i can see how a spot shower flares up. even into the early morning hours just about anywhere. but then clouds leave the scene, we are partly to mostly sunny during the day, get up to about 90 degrees, and then there can be a scattered shower in the afternoon. mainly on the jersey shore and also well north and west and then drying out in the evening hours. later in the week we watch this storm come eastward but still a chance this is going to slide to our south and we are just on the northern fringe of it and also some indications the whole development of it may be a little slower so not sure pop-up storm tomorrow not only north but i could include the jersey shore as well in the afternoon hours, wednesday is a mostly sunny day, pick of the week, low humidity as well. here's your accuweather forecast, 75, warm and humid tonight, isolated storm, mainly north and west early and then anywhere later on. but then again isolated. most of us staying dry, breezy, hot tomorrow, isolated storm in the afternoon, less humid, really nice night tomorrow night. wednesday is great, thursday clouds gather and they have an update on that friday forecast at 11:00. right now there's a decent chance of rain but there's also a way out of that and hopefully we dry out for the upcoming weekend. so more on that at 11:00. >>
