ALERTS:

Air Quality Alert until midnight tonight for the region.

Flood Watch for southern Westchester County until Sunday 2 a.m.

Forecast:

We are tracking severe thunderstorms this evening into early tonight. These storms will develop by dinnertime and push into tonight. A few storms will produce damaging wind and flash flooding. A few tornadoes are expected in the tri-state area, with the best chances north and west of the region.

Tonight: Strong thunderstorms and smoke

The threat for thunderstorms, strong and severe, returns tonight. Air quality was poor for today, as smoke lingers into the night. However, it has slightly improved, and with the help of the rain, we could see more manageable air quality tonight with a light haze into Sunday. The storms are expected to develop around dinner time and will clear out just around midnight. Make sure you have your alerts on and you check the forecast frequently as the weather can change rapidly.

Sunday: Sunshine & less smoke

It's a beautiful day with highs around 80 degrees and hazy sunshine. Air quality issues are limited to just the most sensitive of groups.

Monday: Pick of the week

A very comfortable start to the morning with low humidity and sunshine for most of the day. Some haze possible, but appears limited at this time. Highs in the 80s.

The next storm

We're tracking the risk for flooding and more storms Tuesday evening into Wednesday.
