THE WEEKEND:

There are not enough synonyms of beautiful to describe how nice the weather will be this weekend. Both days will feature seasonable summer temperatures, refreshing levels of humidity, tons of sunshine and not a raindrop in sight! Make those outdoor barbeque, beach and park plans because this weekend will be fabulous.

NEXT RAIN CHANCES:

The next precipitation is expected to move in on Monday part way through the day. This will start as showers that potentially transition to nighttime thunderstorms. Rain and storm chances continue into Tuesday and Wednesday. All the more reason to enjoy such a fabulous last weekend of July.

RIP CURRENT RISK AND BEACH CONDITIONS:

Temperatures will be a touch cooler along the water and be mindful of rip currents at Brooklyn and Queens beaches. Expect tons of sunshine, and don't forget the SPF! The UV index is very high.
