Get ready for a brief blast of extreme heat on Wednesday, and strong thunderstorms – especially at night. It will feel like 100 degrees on Wednesday, but the high heat, fortunately, only lasts for one day. The other threat will be for bookend thunderstorms. The first round could begin around sunrise, but the severe risk will likely take place late Wednesday night, especially in central and souther...

Lee Goldberg examines what caused the historic rainfall and flooding that devastated parts of the area late Sunday. (Hurricane Ernesto was involved, but was not the direct cause.) After he reviews the storm's impact, Lee takes a look at a dramatic change in our weather: The arrival of cool Canadian air that will take us from the dog days of summer straight to the waning days of September. But have...

Rainfall totals didn’t quite hit what was expected as remnants of Hurricane Debby swept through the Tri-state Friday afternoon and evening. Lee says about a month’s worth of rainfall hit some areas. A dry stretch of weather will lead into the weekend and into next week. Saturday will remain cloudy and have a humid feel in the morning, as the day goes on the humidity will drop and the skies will cl...

The remnants of Debby are rapidly churning towards our area, posing a multi-threat of downpours, damaging winds and a tornado risk on Friday. Lee Goldberg says the peak intensity will be during the afternoon and evening hours, and while the rain totals won't match what we saw during the middle part of the week, we could still see 1-3 inches throughout the Tri-State. Given our already saturated gro...

Thursday will be a rinse and repeat of Wednesday's cool and damp conditions with a few more downpours as a tropical air mass returns to the area. That tropical air will come in the form of Debby's remnants which will accelerate to the north after making a second landfall on the South Carolina coast. Lee Goldberg says the remnants will likely impact our area between Friday afternoon and Saturday mo...

After we get past some residual heavy rain from severe storms overnight, Wednesday will be significantly cooler – about 20 degrees in fact! Parts of the Tri-State area could get more showers, but it won't be all day. Some areas could be just dry and cloudy. Meanwhile, Lee Goldberg is also tracking Tropical Storm Debby, which continues to bring historic flooding to the southeast. Remnants of the st...

The next 48 hours will come with rounds of soaking rain and multiple flood threats. The worst flooding concerns will be late Tuesday into early Wednesday morning.  Parts of the area could get an inch to two inches of rainfall. There will be off-and-on waves of rain taking us into the weekend. The main impacts of Debby will hit the Tri-state area later in the week. Learn more about your ad choices....
