eastern long island, jersey shore more than eastern long island. humidity is on hold for the next three days. then the dog days of summer will develop in the middle of the week. if you want the heat and humidity back, you get it by wednesday. we're down to 81 in long branch. tom's river, some showers are approaching you now. but it's still near 90 degrees. bouncing back on the lower the low 80. 87 in poughkeepsie. showers not far away. dew points are in the mid-70s. it feels tropical. off to the north and west, much drier air works in overnight. the best of both worlds. we get the drier air but not the cooling with the cold front. the humidity just way down. upper 70s to low 80s this night breeze develops during the afternoon. you have showers leaving connecticut. those may dive towards eastern long island. that will be over the next couple of hours. the showers over nassau falling apart over suffolk. neptune is going to rain. strongest shores going towards 195 in new jersey. you will have to deal with there is the cold fronted coming there and the

eastern long island but a little bit is coming together. out in rockland county along northern westchester in putnam county with showers make a quick run through. it will be a bad day out there with a lot of clouds and mild temperatures at 76b0. the dew point is at a it is pumped up there so there's a lot of moisture. the bigger storms onto the northwest a little closer to the frontal boundary trying to drop into the area.ou could get a struggle because high pressures to the south trying to block it out. it's doing so but we have so much instability and moisture with us here directing more of the moisture this way with hot and humid air in the north and that will be all it takes to get the scattered at 86b0. there you have it. more good dayscoming right up . >> differently. so we wired the wagner's house with 100 meg internet. which means that in the time it takes mr. wagner to pour a 20 oz. cup of coffee, tommy can download 30 songs, and jan can upload 120 photos. 12 seconds. that's the power of fiber optics. and right now you can get 100

eastern long island right now it doesn't look like they're holding together t w see sol overt long island sound that will be brushing through north shore here. so still a little risky in materials of showers and storms but it's not that bad as we speak. so let's take a look at what we had for high temperatures in the city but around tristate is. u up to 89 newark. 86 in sussex. 90 many poughkeepsie so warm, humid at the same time so it felt warmer than what we had for high temperatures. 85 was your high for islip, but now things are looking a little dropping in from canada coming in from the north but it is not actually going to be that sm much cooler but drier and more comfortable sthoos going to make a difference in terms of what it feels like tomorrow to be just about as warm but with the air drying out it feels a little bit better. right now we have 79 central park as well as newark. winds coming in from the west going to start to turn more northwesterly as that cold front helicopters to drop on by. let's look at the future cast and show you what's happening with storms computer model

they have a heat advisory for parts of eastern long island. all of these go until sunday at 10:00. not that the humidity completely disappears on monday and not that the temperatures will be cool, but it will be easier to take temperatures we're expecting a pop-up shower. you keep an eye to the skies and storms develop. as soon as you hear thunder, take cover. don't wait for that. late tonight, overnight, the heat indexes will be in the upper 80s and 90s. so uncomfortable and overnight. then tomorrow morning, right back to feeling like 100 degrees by 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. that's incredible. digit heat indexes. then even overnight sunday moo monday, we still have the feels-like temperatures in the mid-80s to 90 degrees. as far as showers and storms go, we're coming in with clouds around midday around 11:00, 12:00. then quick-moving showers through the early part of the afternoon. we clear back out and then late afternoon to the evening looks like for sunday that we actually see showers and storms pop up. those look few and far between. monday afternoon could also be stormy wi
