cooler at monticello. they're in the 70s. 88 up in the hudson valley. and upper 80s to 90 as you get back to the city and most of new jersey and back to the upper 80s across long island. looking at the dew point temperatures, humidity is dropping. it's higher near the coast, particularly out east. look at the dew points. back into the 50s. that brings the humidity level back into the 30, 40% range. the wind is becoming westerly, north-northwest at monticello, as the front moves to the east. that will set us up for a couple of nice days. tomorrow the humidity will be less of a problem and sunshine most of the time. fox 5 sky guardian, nothing going on here. a thunderstorm northeast of hartford. look at fox 5 sky guardian 3-d this storm clobbered boston with ping-pong ball-sized hail and big storms rolled through new hampshire into maine and some action is taking place off to the north and west. that's not coming our way. that's falling apart. we'll have a bit of patchy clouds as the cold front moves to the east. this is our weather tomorrow. there could

only 50s, 53 in sussex, 54 in monticello, 70 in montauk surrounded by a warm ocean waters. as we look radar and satellite things don't look so bad at all, but we cloudy to mainly clear skies in the tristate region, we will see a lot of sunshine, temperatures of come down, there will be cooler influence of this area of high pressure which slid down across the great lakes and the ridge was in the northeast and the tristate region as well. here's the same area of low pressure making its move not so much would the tristate but coming in this general direction and most is heading to the south closer to the nation's capital so we don't get much out of it. to the b.c. sunny skies and cool hots at 83 degrees, a beautiful day. 81 is your high tomorrow and more clouds in the area, showers look minimal, mostly to the south and some near the coast but not a big threat from that storm. let's bring in ines and see what we have on thursday morning. ines: construction closing the covered roadway from jersey avenue, for road work. putnam county off to a good start, no problems, brewster, 68

monticello 48-degree reading in morristown. chilly with the clear skies overnight. belmar 67. closer in, temperatures are cool. we are watching the tropics. erika is a tropical storm with winds about 50 miles per hour going over puerto rico and the turks. potential for this storm to become a category 1, weak category 1. the cone uncertainty is wide. for us high pressure is in control. that means it's hard for clouds to form. it's beautiful around here. pleasant forecast for the tri- state all weekend long. if you are waiting for the heat and humidity, it's coming. a fine finish to the week today. that goes to the east. the winds come from the southwest. things heat up nicely. mid-80s. then into the 90s the rest of the weekend and early next week. by the way, sunday afternoon, there is a threat of a quick moving shower or thunderstorm north and west of the city. that is about it as far as rain goes. planning a weekend get away, the catskills could fire up an afternoon thunderstorm. hamptons looking good. jersey shore mid-80s over the weekend. the heat, the humidity building for

right now we'll drop down in the 70s in monticello, 80s across much of the tristate area. it will continue to be a mild evening, and temperatures are going to be even hotter monday. but right now it's pretty comfortable because of the dew points. most readings are in the 50s to low 60s, and that's a comfortable range, but these numbers are going to creep up slowly tonight, and you'll feel the difference tomorrow as it will feel more humid across much of the area all courtesy of a southwest wind flow that's currently coming in at about 5-10 miles an hour on average. it'll pick up in speed, and we'll have gusty winds tomorrow afternoon. we're under the influence of high purchase here in the northeast, and that's what's protected us and brought us plenty of sunshine across the region, but now we're watching a cold front that's working into the great lakes igniting showers and storms across this part of the nation. fortunately, it's moving slower than i anticipated, so now it look like much of the rainfall associated with it will hold back until tomorrow probably early evening

cooler at monticello where the temperature is at 68. that's also because we have some rain moving through monticello. a couple of scattered showers have rotated in from eastern pennsylvania. this is a precursor of what's headed our way. a bigger system is sitting to our west. it will provide us with a good amount of rainfall overnight right through the daytime hours tomorrow. much of the heavier rain is off to the west across the western great lakes edging out of ohio into western pennsylvania. i think it will probably be arriving after midnight. tomorrow morning's commute is going to be a soaker. we could see upwards of three inches of rain and that's why the national weather service issued a flash flood watch starting tonight through tuesday evening for the areas in green. this is more urban areas. if we get a heavy amount of rain, it could result in flooding in parts of the area. have the umbrella handy. it will be scattered showers and hours. and temperatures will be average for this time of year. over to you. steve: thank you. a ro

happy birthday, franky finally learned. 7 o central park. 52 in monticello. dew points are in a comfortable range. crept up a little bit. but most of us around master's degree to upper 50s. low 0u something like that. still pretty comfortable. as long as it stays in low 60s or lower than that we're pretty good. high pressure is in control. a little more moisture up this way because that area of low pressure is trying to force it up and squeeze in showers over southern and central sections of new jersey that made a little bit come out but that's it be. now it is looking like we have a nice day forward. 83 today. 84 your high on saturday and 83 again on sunday so hanging right in the seam temp range through the upcoming qeengd. looks beautiful. let's bring in ines rosales again and see if we have anything going on with the commute a big show stopper. good morning. >> serious accident westchester this morning shutting down saw mill northbound. an accident northbound by grand street all lanes are closed. traffic backed up to manville video. traveling in new jerse

anyway let's get you out the door. 61 monticello. actually not bad with our temps and a the skies look pretty good. but there is a cold front to the west of us which is starting to swing through tristate region it is not going to bring us much during the day but during the night when the cold front swings on by that is when you have a chance of showers and then kind of hang around tomorrow too. so today sunny, high temp up to 90 of 90 tomorrow but clouds are around and scattered storms here and there not a lot of action and cooler temps after that. while. highs 85 on wednesday and lower in the days to follow. all right let's bring in ines right now, and boy i tell you what, monday -- trouble out there. >> good morning mike. yeah start off a the morning with some problems here for example throughway northbound, over by the orange dutchess county area. there's an a accident northbound by exit 18 blocking a lane. westbound. traffic slow approaching exit 2 because of a tractor-trailer that caught fire. go to our camera 106, 107 no issues

monticello, the low 70s today. we were in the low 80s in central park. mid 80s to newark liberty airport. down the shore it was beautiful where the temperature was at 82 for the high in belmar. we're sitting at that number at the beach. same in the park as well as towards islip. montauk, 78. 82 in bridgeport. up up towards poughkeepsie. nothing being picked up by radar. no rain is across the tri-state area. a couple of puffy clouds are across the region. we'll stay dry through the rest of the evening. high pressure is keeping things quiet for much of the area. the exception is north of albany right now. nothing here in the tri-state area. we're in store for a beautiful evening. i'll have more details on what to expect for the rest of the week coming up. steve: thank you, audrey. the pope coming to america next month. underway. dari: sharon crowley shows us how police and transit officials are getting ready for the pontiff's visit. >> reporter: pope francis comes to new york city in september. police and transit workers in new york city and new jersey are

still feeling good in belmar, and we're in the upper 70s up towards monticello. these numbers are running a few degrees down from where they were yesterday, but the big difference is in the dew points. it's made things very comfortable across the region, and with readings in the 50s and 60s, it'll feel nice going into the evening, and i think we'll squeeze out one more dry day before the humidity builds across the area. we do have a couple of high, thin clouds rotating through. radar indicates a couple of showers, but i think the air is just too dry for a lot of that to reach the ground, maybe a sprinkle could be possible across the poconos. we have a nice west to northwest wind flow, and we're expecting another day like today as we go into tomorrow. so you can expect plenty of sunshine for your sunday. temperatures once again will be soaring through the 80s, we could be close to 90 in many locations, and it will stay dry, but things changing into next week. all the details coming up. >> all right, audrey, thank you so much. our very own simone boyce has a brand

right now, cooled off to 77 in monticello. 81 for cold springs. 82 for islip. there's what's left of the front. it's not going to be moving much. along the frontal boundary line which extended parallel to the shore for jersey, we will see enough moisture there to kick back and cause some trouble, especially on sunday before it completely moves out. watch on the future cast. saturday looks decent. maybe coastal connecticut gets a few showers. can't rule out for eastern long island, either. sunday morning, 8:00, starts to retreat back inland, that low pressure spins the energy inland and takes it out to sea. we'll be done by monday, tuesday, but sunday, there's a chance for showers. saturday, the better half of the weekend. as far as temperatures go, we're looking for low to mid- 80s through the afternoon. cooling back into the 70s. even some 60s in the suburbs. monticello and sussex could go to the 50s and heat back sunday and we invite the humidity as well by the end of the weekend into early next week. 2 to 3-foot waves. rip current is moderate. a reminder to

a good start with the 70s in and around the boroughs. 61 for monticello. down the sword, 66. radar and satellite picture we are practically cloud free over the next few days. just because we have a high pressure system in control, and it will create a sinking ire for these clouds to develop. expect a lot of sunshine, but the heat that was already in place match up with the humidity coming in, and it's with us the next few days. it's going to be a teemy set of days here. by noon, 76, and 86 by 6:00. good morning. i'm' wake now. other to rhode island smell and westbound with the latest headlines. >>> a fair is not during a play standoff to -- >> reporter: the lieutenant was shot and is in stable condition. hayes decided to go in and find the source of the smoke, going in thinking the suspect was overcome by the smoke. instead he was hit by bullets fired by the gun man. it was early yesterday that a folk force of u.s. marshals bent in to arrest garland tyree. a long arrest recordkeeping police at bay for showers, and tyree was heavily armed with handguns and an ak47. there were
