partly cloudy, warm start to the day, 77 at central park. 73 islip. 64 monticello. to the radar and the satellite, it is looking quiet. some of this is the moisture working up and hot and humid with a few isolated storms possible, but don't count on that happening for sure. high temperature up to 92. >> thank you, sir. >> time for the sports now. the us open is starting today and we are headed out there. ben: we are. say hello if you see us. juliet: maria sharapovo will not be there. ben: serena williams could be making history and winning four majors in the course of a season. the last time in 1988 and serena has to beat out the other top players, including her sister venus. >> i think wimbledon gave me practice for this and going for the second serena slam and that is rare, so yeah, so that really gave me the best practice and preparation in terms of going for the grand slam. >> do you think if you are venus you don't play as well. ben: the first place mets and the boston red sox at citi field. >> coming back in the 7th. blood pressured a triple that stayed fair.

northwest so definitely a night and a morning to have the windows open and give the ec a break, 67 in islip and montauk checking in at 75 mcghee degrees this morning, satellite radar shows things nice and quiet with high clouds rotating for but other events that we expect plenty of sunshine with to east across the region. a cold one sweeping through yesterday and that brought writer air across the region setting us up for a nice middle part of the wheat. high pressure nosing its way from the west's all expect nice weather through the next several bids. expect plenty of sunshine, temperatures in the low 80s which is normal for this time of year and a nice stretch, high temperatures in thes, sunshine through saturday, could see some clouds and a chance of an isolated showers. we will get to that earlier. let's get to the commute. ines has the details. joshua komisarjevsky ines: we have an accident on the major deegan across yankee stadium, two lanes blocked, explain delays with construction going on, things are fine on long island, no problems on nassau county, construction going on. let's go

we made up to 90 in central park, 91 in newark as well as the 6, 80 in belmar, 86 was your high in islip. reduced and not? 75 isis and same in bridgeport, 77 in central park and 56 degrees in monticello, mild temperatures out there this morning, partly cloudy skies in the tristate region, no problems for which showers and storms at this point possibility we will with this scenarios the same as yesterday with high pressure in control, a lot of hot humid care on top of us, high temperature 86 degrees or so. the stickiness sticks around for awhile but storm chances are going up over the next few days and looks like greater chances will be thursday into friday, 30% chance not too bad. let's bring in ines rosales and see how we are starting off this wednesday morning. ines: starting with some problems. construction going on like the bqe, let's go to the fdr drive, causing delays the past few morning, traffic northbound by seventy-second street by construction that had to leave the lane closed, and equipment problems that there are delays with pedestrians, signaled problems between exchange pl

it's 82 in islip and 81 towards montauk. 80s in bridgeport. poughkeepsie in the 80s. monticello checking in at 79. it's all about the dew points. these have come up. they're in the 60s to low 70s. it is making it feel uncomfortable. we're not in the blazing heat. it is something to be aware of. we have a bit of a breeze coming off the ocean 10 to 15 miles an hour. it will stay that way through the rest of the night and tomorrow. a look at satellite and radar show most of us have remained dry. we've had flooding around union county, right around route 22 where we've had portions shut down and cars being flooded and it looks like those cells have weakened and dissipated. now to the west here, i'm watching a line that's coming out of eastern pennsylvania that's threatening sussex and warren counties in new jersey. there's steady rainfall there, heavy rainfall. there could be residual flooding across the roadways. we're unstable across the northeast. more of the same type of weather tomorrow like we had today. then our focus is coming into a cold front that's right now ig

feels sticky. 73 at belmar, 76 at islip. we're watching a front moving through lower michigan and the great lakes. this has a line of severe thunderstorms associated with it. it'll move through tomorrow night versus tomorrow afternoon. that's a big difference in terms of what kind of thunderstorm activity we get around here. because it moves through not during the hottest part of the day, the storms won't get a chance to turn too strong in our area. there could be a heavier gustier storm north and west of new york city. we'll track it for you on the future cast. you'll wake up to sunshine tomorrow morning. during the course of the day th the front approaching from the west. there could be maybe just a scattered or isolated shower during the afternoon north and west for the city. tomorrow evening into tomorrow night we look for a line of storms to approach from the west and the north and it'll tend to weaken by the time it gets into new york city and the i-95 corridor and there could be a scattered shower or storm lingering b

a lot of lightning too, 69 degrees at central park, 77 in bridgeport and islip, a special marine morning where strong thunderstorms and the new york harbor area but others then that not much popping up when it comes to severe weather but localized flooding could be a problem with the slow-moving storms. the dewpoint sitting at 66 at central park, 68 at belmar, these numbers will be dropping down because of the threat coming by, drier cooler air moving in after today, high temperature 90 today, 86 tomorrow, 81 pairs the into friday and now we wrap up work week on a saudi note, meeting in joy the weekend as well, not a nice looking weekend, cooler too. we will bring in kelly in for ines rosales with your commute situation. >> bill parkway east, we have a crash blocking two lanes, watch for delays, let's switch to a live look at the tappan zee bridge, free and clear this morning, some extra caution. live look at the george washington bridge where we have over net construction wrapping up, lower level inbound with overnight construction, upper level but at about two lanes blocked, not causin

we were in the 80s across islip and montauk. factor in the humidity and it was uncomfortable. on saturday, we had a high of 92. sunday, 93. today's high of 95 makes it the first official heat wave in central park since 2013. hear -- we're warm across the region. we're in the 90s across newark and belmar where it was a nice day this morning and all day long. 84 is the current reading there with 80s across montauk and into islip. here is factoring the humidity, we get a heat index value in the 80s to low 90s. it is feeling pretty stifling. air quality alert for those of you with respiratory problems. you want to be aware of that. a couple of showers earlier. i'll leave in the chance for the rest of the evening, but most of us should stay dry. it's quiet. we have high pressure in control. the area of high pressure is west. that front is igniting showers and storms from the great lakes down towards the southeast. with this area of high pressure over us, it's keeping that cold front to our west and that front won't affect us until thursday and friday. until then, the heat and humid

yesterday, islip was in the 90s. cooler out to long island. 80 now and 76 in the bronx, 77 in brooklyn north of the city, temperatures now, mixture of 60s and 70s and low to mid-70s out in long island. clear on the satellite image. today, a big bubble of high pressure brought us a beautiful day, but notice this right here, a long line of showers and thors thunderstorms associated with the cold front dropping into the region tomorrow evening and tomorrow night and we could have a round of showers and thunderstorms, but ahead of the system for tomorrow afternoon, we'll have the southerly flow, and that will increase the heat and the humidity. now, come tomorrow, when the thunderstorms move across the area, and, again, this is really later in the day. tomorrow morning, we're fine. this is the evening hours, into the nighttime hours, front comes through, and we could have a round of strong storms, and there's at least a slight chance of severe weather from north western new jersey into the mid hudson valley with the bigg

. 74-degree dewpoint in islip and montauk. what's that feel like to the human perception basically overall? you're in the range where it gets to be oppressive. when you see dewpoints that high, 71 to 75, almost feels like you can't move, can't beat it. that's what we have out there this morning. it doesn't get much worse than this, if it does you will be miserable. anyhow we have a mix of clouds and sun outside right now. a few showers try to get going to the west but once the sun gets going in the tri-state, you know what? our clouds are going to start bubbling up into some showers and storms. if you happen to get caught underneath one, good chance you will get heavy rain. high pressure for now trying to keep things on quieter side. warm pressure, cold front will slide closer to us, the closer we look, more your chances are you will see showers and storms in the area. some putting down quite a bit of rain. 30% chance. high temp gross up to 86 degrees. a little cooler because of clouds outside as opposed to the sun which saw.

an inch in islip. futurecast shows more cells popping up in central and northern new jersey around 1:00. watch how they build to 6:00 this evening. showers we can have another round that could be heavy even outside, you know, the flood watch, the flash flood watch that we had until 4:00. there could be flooding issues into the first part of tonight. we will talk about that in the accuweather forecast coming up. we are not done with this yet, david and shirleen. back to you. >> it's causing problems. >>> the storm knocked down trees and power lines in queens. some homes are without power in the douglaston section. eyewitness news reporter a.j. ross is there with that part of the coverage. a.j.? >> reporter: shirleen, you can see con ed crews are very hard at work on 54th in douglas town after this huge tree came toppling down a couple of hours ago bring wearing it several power lines. that's why police have us at a distance for our own safety as crews work on what were live wires a short time ago. now h

not a big deal should move in and out fairly quickly. 72 partly cloudy skies in islip. cloudy in montauk with showers going. 74 out at central park. dry here with partly cloudy skies 71 for you newark and you're going to have a clear sky for starters this morning. looks like a fairly clear starts to the day for us here motion of us again other than lake showers passing through eastern long island for a while till this cold front comes here to swing by later tonight. here it is approaching by 3:00, 4:00 tomorrow morning. front is clogs by. showers are passing think. doesn't look like a lot of rain is close by but keeping clear for a while. got to check out the tropics here there's still a tropical storm danny was a hurricane at one point but now a tropical storm heading in toward lesser. anyhow going to continue to cruise to the south and looks like it is going to weaken more so to a -- low. depression here over next couple of days bringing in some showers over o the caribbean but that should be about it doesn't look look it is a major player for us sunny skies early. an

same thing in islip, and 61 in monticello with partly cloudy mainly clear skies there's our front coming across from canada kicked up pretty good storms in the midwestern states. they've started to settle down in last couple of hours. but that front will be responsible for at least a little bit of action for us here in the tristate. that will be coming to you but not until later this evening and tonight. front will get closer and doesn't hold together well as it makes its trek across the tristate region but scattered showers out there tonight into tomorrow. that stays unsettled and then after that, we should see quieter, cooler weather to midweek and yondz. today still on hotter side. 86 by midday. high temp of 90 this afternoon a. 90 again with shower and storm chances out there. but look cooler own wednesday and cooler thursday, friday. let's bring in ines rosales, and she's going to have the latest on roads an rails right now. good morning. ines: not looking too bad a problem on route 78 in new jersey. westbound tractor trailer caught fire fire department on scene. extinguished but yo

and 79 in islip. very comfortable conditions across the region. now it is going to get muggier as the system approaches. lots of moisture coming up from the south, and southwest. and the flash flood threat will really be from tomorrow morning into tomorrow afternoon. heaviest rain will come tomorrow commute. isolated sprinkles north and west of the city, nothing bad yet. but all of this energy and moisture is going to converge on our area, coming in from the great lakes, the ohio valley, and even parts of the southeast, some of that moisture. that's when things get dicey around here. from now, though, through the evening, no problems. you might see a peek -- break in the clouds here and there before the sun sets and one or two sprinkles. then the heaviest rain starts to push in around 4:00 in the morning, from the west. so our western counties are starting to get it first. then it spreads over the city shore. and then it continues slowly to move through the area into our counties north and east through connecticut, the hudson valley and then long

great day at the shore. 79 degrees in long branch. 80 in islip. of bridgeport, 82. and you're in the 60s in monticello. 68 degrees, the current temperature. and tonight back down into the 50s for you. by 9:00, you'll be right around 60 there. newton at 63 and asbury park in the 70s. overnight for tomorrow morning, more 50s north and west, and 60s elsewhere. during the day tomorrow, we'll warm up to about 80. mainly in the 70s, for the high temperature. so a little bit cooler tomorrow. in terms of the daytime highs. and then once again, look at monticello at friday morning, flirting with the upper 40s. feeling like fall for just a few days. because it does warm up. tropical tracker shows erica. this is tropical storm erika headed towards the northern leeward islands. a little fuzzy, the cloud dimension here. it still has top winds of 45 miles per hour. still moving pretty rapidly towards the west, towards antigua. just east of antigua by a little under 200 miles. so this storm will continue acking westward and start to make the turn once it gets towards puerto rico a

islip. 77. and kind of a mixed condition around the area. cold front is coming through along with the wave of low pressure. we have with some scattered action out there now. but later on as that front is actually crossing by, it should be widespread with the storm coverage but it doesn't look like we're gong to get a ton of rain and high pressure on its backside that means later on tonight into tomorrow. high pressure takes over to bring us lots of sunshine out there. 82 midday with scattered storms around the morning as well as the afternoon. high temp up to 86, and yeah, going to be kind of on the warm er humid side but that is the last of it. sunny skies. 82 thursday, friday and then back up to around 87, 86 in that range over the weekend. let's bring in ines rosales see what's going on. we have our tuesday commute going on with issues here and there performing garden state parkway trying to clear away an accident northbound by exit 98 there and staten island expressway construction beginning on by richmond avenue causing delays there. ba

same thing in poughkeepsie. 71 in bridgeport as well as islip. winds they're going to be picking up from the southwest around 3 to 8 miles per hour. and yeah looks like we're going a little bit of a breeze in early morning but picks up more so as we get further into the day. this is the reason why. cold front coming into town that is going to pick up the winds. also going to be hot and sticky outside at the same time. even which wily there will be showers and storms trying to come through the tristate region but not until tomorrow tonight. high temp up to if 90, and again humidity ab about dew points are all going to be coming up a bit today. tomorrow you're going to make it up to 90 again. you've got scattered sthoorms could be popping up not looking at a washout. but there will be some action out there from time to time. after that we do have cooler temperatures for the next few days to come. all right let's bring in ines rosales, and been busy this morning with trouble on the roads that is right sad out early. good morning. ines: start off wit

about 83 at islip. dew points measuring the amount of moisture in the atmosphere kind of straddling between sticky and uncomfortable, closer to just 60 degrees. it's not that bad out there. it's not oppressive but i do think as we head into the overnight hours the dew point will pick up, and it will be more uncomfortable by the overnight hours. radar, satellite showing just some clouds around: there have been a few showers over the very east tip of long island. those are weakening. those will continue to move off to the east and the northeast, but for the time being you're getting a little bit of rain over twin forks right now. there's a cold front approaching western pennsylvania, western new york. this will move through tonight into tomorrow morning, and with that there could be a shower or thunderstorm around north and west of the city during the evening hours. if they make it into the city t probably waits until after midnight and there's still a thunder threat around tomorrow during the day, the hi

here is what the other dewpoints look like. 65 at newark and 65 also for you in islip. once you get to 65 plus, that is when it starts to get pretty uncomfortable. that is what we're going to be heading too as we head into the afternoon hours. so we're not there yet but getting up there into the uncomfortable range of dewpoints of around 66 to 70. that is going through this afternoon as well as tomorrow. it only lasts for couple days. up. right now, partly cloudy to mainly clear skies. front way up to the northwest. it is over the great lakes and slide into the tri-state region. it will bring some scattered showers with it. the bigger change, not worried about showers and storms coming tonight into tomorrow. the cooler air back behind it. that will make a big difference in your temperatures. starting on wednesday and even more so thursday. today we're still ahead of that cold front. so, it is mostly sunny. hot. high temp, gets up to 9 in the city. later on tonight, storms in the area, as front starts to slide in, lows drop between 64 and 74. we go through the next seven
