you see the showers and storms over the catskills now. let's track a few of these. some lightning near olive. heading toward woodstock. but weakening. and more showers and thunderstorms over parts of sullivan county headed toward ellenville. and another one headed into parts of pike county to sullivan count, orange county as well. but it looks like as these storms get out of the high ground that they're going to lose their support. so i don't anticipate these making it very far eastward. they can get in the hudson valley. but i don't think we'll have severe weather sweeping through the area this evening. we're between two fronts. one offshore and one to the west. they're having a shoving match. in between, not a lot can get going. and that's why we're in a safer place right now. but what we will see is at least this humidity lasting into the morning hours. then as we go through the middle of the week, our attention will turn to low pressure forming in the rockies. that's going to sweep across the country. we don't know the exact track. will it come straight at us or

we just to have watch this eastern fringe tomorrow which may get into the catskills not only tomorrow but into thursday afternoon. some fair weather cloudiness. that's the only blemish. it's really cool under that area of low pressure but we don't get the coolest of the air. it stays to the north. we will be in the mid-80s for the most part. futurecast. some upper, even tomorrow morning. so a real september feel. lots of sunshine, a couple of extra clouds north and west. a little more cloudiness on thursday. remnants of danny going to the dominican republic. there's erika. wind field is at 40 miles per hour, very unorganized. even some discussion that this could dissipate, but right now the official forecast has it as a tropical storm and even a category 1 hurricane towards the bahamas, but that storm could continue to weaken. for tomorrow 85, a beautiful day, lots of sunshine, low humidity, mainly clear and comfy tomorrow night. great the rest of the work week. partly sunny, mostly sunny friday. maybe a spot storm by sunday. the warmth and humidity will continue into september. so ni
