Cooler days are ahead, New York City.
The weather in the city should stay dry and mild through the week as two tropical systems churn southeast of the city in the Atlantic.
National Weather Service meteorologist Brian Ciemnecki said an area of high pressure over the city will keep Tropical Storm Imelda and Hurricane Humberto away from the area.
The former drenched the Bahamas this weekend and the latter has been hanging a few hundred miles to its east — and while both are headed north, neither is expected to pose a direct threat to the Tri-State Area.
“Both of these systems are prodded to kind of move off to the east and stay mainly off the mainland, which is good for us,” Ciemnecki said, adding the city’s coastlines might experience higher surf, rip currents and beach erosion.
Parts of New Jersey are under advisories for high rip currents for Tuesday as well.
“Those are going to be the indirect impacts that we're going to see from the tropical systems as they pass far south and east of us.”
Temperatures in the area are expected to stay relatively warm through Monday and Tuesday during the day, staying in the upper 70s to lower 80s.
But those should drop as a cold front moves into the area late Tuesday. On Wednesday, temperatures are expected to stay in the mid to upper 60s, staying in the mid 60s through Thursday.
“It's going to be really nice weather. I think it's going to be really pleasant for most people — they're going to enjoy it,” Ciemnecki said..
By Friday, the temperature in the city is forecast to go back up to the lower 70s and then remain in the 70s through the weekend.
