Monday will start with sunny skies with a few more clouds by the afternoon. Thunderstorms develop in the afternoon and evening. The main threat is strong winds and heavy rain, a few severe thunderstorm warnings are possible as the heat and humidity will add fuel to any storms that pop up.

Temperatures will be in the low 90s, with humidity making it feel like the mid-90s during the afternoon. Tuesday, mid-morning to afternoon showers are likely, with the heaviest rain along the Southern New England Coast.

The rest of the week looks unsettled due to a stalled cold front that will bring daily chances of rain through Thursday. Temperatures will be cooler, in the 70s and low 80s. As the ground becomes more saturated with rounds of rain, there will be a risk of heavy rain and localized flooding. The best chance for dry weather will be Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
