Unsettled is this week's weather theme. The primarily west-to-east flow of the summer jet stream will let surface fronts flop around like an oversized Montauk Monster in its death throes. Okay, we're not exactly sure what that analogy is supposed to mean, but there's a weak cold front approaching the city today. The front will stall south of town and make the humid air less stable, leading to an increasing chance of showers from this afternoon through tomorrow. Look for highs in the 70s both days.

While last week's weather was well-behaved, this week's is looking complicated. Expect more prevarication from Gothamist than usual! The general weather maker in the near term is a high pressure system off the New England coast. Later in the week it will likely cede its role to an upstart storm developing off the southeastern coast. Both systems will bring cloudy, warm weather and at least the potential for rain.

The flood advisory and severe thunderstorm warning have both expired. Nearly an inch of rain fell in Central Park, while 1.64 inches soaked LaGuardia this morning. The rain is quickly moving out of the city, but there's a possibility for more storms later this afternoon. This morning's rain, and yesterday afternoon's half-hearted attempt at a storm, are being flung at the city by an upper level low pressure system that has been swirling its way across Ontario and New England. The low will be close enough that there is a chance of heavy showers at least through midnight tonight.
