Separate rounds of scattered, potentially severe thunderstorms will bring some need of relief from the heat this week.
Hot and humid weather will continue into the week with a chance of midday and early evening showers and thunderstorms, especially north and west of New York City, before widespread storms sweep through the entire region, according to the National Weather Service.
Here’s a look at the five-day forecast:
Sunday 23 August: Mostly sunny and humid with high temperatures in the mid 80’s. There will be isolated showers and thunderstorms from late in the afternoon until about 9 o’clock, especially areas further north.
Monday, August 24: Partly cloudy, hazy, hot and humid with a high temperature around 90 degrees. There will be a chance of scattered showers and storms, especially after 3 o’clock
Tuesday, August 25: Clouds will increase on another hot day with the high temperatures in the upper 80s. It will be stormy in the afternoon, with the window for storm activity lasting from about 2 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday. Some of the storms could be severe, with downpours and damaging winds.

Wednesday 26 August: After the storms it will become more comfortable. Wednesday will be picture-perfect with sunny skies and a high temperature of about 80 degrees.
Thursday 27 August: Mostly sunny with a high temperature in the low 80s.
