What a damp and gloomy day! Most of the region saw a persistent light rain and drizzle, while the drenching rain traveled up into New England. Showers will continue to linger through Saturday night, but temperatures will stay rather mild. The tri-state is wedged between to systems - - an area of low pressure and Hurricane Kyle. As a result of a persistent onshore flow and tropical moisture streaming northward, overnight lows will be 5-10 degrees above normal. The low in Midtown will fall down to 65 degrees and the suburbs will be in the middle and lower 60s.

The Flood Watch for the tri-state has been canceled as most of the heavy rain stayed to our east. The High Surf Advisory, however, remains in effect until 6 p.m. Sunday. The persistent easterly wind this weekend will cause minor to moderate beach erosion and dangerous rip currents.

The area of low pressure responsible for the wet weather will continue to weaken and lift to the northeast, bringing the threat of a few showers on Sunday.  Daytime Highs Sunday will range from the lower to upper 70s. There should be some gradual improvement across the area late Sunday night as the low pulls away and the winds become more northwesterly. While one system starts to exit the area, the focus now shifts to the tropics. Kyle is now a minimal category one hurricane and is racing to the north at 23 miles per hour. Kyle is expected to stay well to the east of the tri-state, but indirectly impact the area with rough surf. Hurricane Kyle is expected to be near coastal New England or the Canadian Maritimes late Sunday or early Monday.

Monday, the sunshine will finally return to the region and temperatures will be in the mid to upper 70s. There are changes early next week. A cold front is expected to move through the area late Tuesday into Wednesday with the threat of showers. Behind the cold front, expect a cooler air mass. Wednesday through the latter half of the week, temperatures will be in the 60s.
