What weather can NYC expect for the week?

According to The Weather Channel, NYC is in for five consecutive days of rain this week. According to Storm Team 4 NY, the “lingering moisture from what’s left of Debby” may be the cause of NYC’s increased rainfall.

Beginning the evening of Tuesday, August 6th and into the night of Saturday, August 10th, rain will shower NYC. By the end of the week, Storm Team 4 NY says we could see up to 5 inches of rain total. However, temperatures will begin to cool down into the high 70s.

There’s currently a flood watch in place for the tri-state area from Tuesday through Wednesday.
