Showers and thunderstorms are expected to hit New York City and areas west across eastern Pennsylvania and western New Jersey through this afternoon and evening, the New York City meteorologist said. Fox Weather, Geoff Bansen.

“The greatest threat is heading west of the city…with a strong to severe thunderstorm,” Bansen said to New York Post. it could affect those who are preparing to leave the city for the long weekend.

The southwest system is expected to weaken later today Friday, but there is a chance that persistent rains will continue on Saturday, although most of the forecast for tomorrow looks dry. “And then the rest of the holiday weekend looks great,” said the meteorologist.

“It looks like a really nice weekend outside of scattered and isolated pop-up thunderstorms this afternoon and a passing thunderstorm tomorrow.” Highs in the upper 70F (25C) are expected for Saturday and Sunday in New York before turning “much warmer” on Monday, with a high of around 89F (31C) in Central Park, considered the reference thermometer of the city.
