After a beautiful weekend in the Big Apple, a bout of drenching thunderstorms is on the way, which will lead to a threat for flash and urban flooding.
Monday will start out nice with a good deal of sunshine and high temperatures a few degrees above normal, near 86 degrees.
Clouds will begin to increase Monday night as low pressure lifts into the eastern Great Lakes.

Showers and thunderstorms will become more widespread on Tuesday before becoming heavy at times Tuesday night.
The evening commute Tuesday could be very difficult. Commuters may even have to dodge some detours around any localized flooding problems that develop.
From Tuesday into Tuesday night, two to four inches of rain will fall on NYC before drier air moves in Wednesday afternoon.
