Unseasonably warm conditions will continue around New York City through the weekend, ahead of possible drenching rain from Karen.
High temperatures within a few degrees of 80 and generally rain-free weather will continue around the region through the day Sunday.
However, two weather systems have a chance at bringing a dose of heavy rain from late Monday into early Tuesday.
A front from the Plains is forecast to sweep off the East coast Tuesday. Ahead of the front, showers and thunderstorms are in store with a southerly flow of moisture.
Surviving within that flow may be Karen as a tropical rainstorm.
If Karen's rain does make the trip this far north, it would raise the possibility of minor flash and urban flooding, as well as travel delays, most likely Monday night with perhaps some lingering effects Tuesday morning.

Most areas could easily handle a couple of inches of rain with few problems as the last thorough soaking was Sept. 21 and 22.
The air behind the front and/or Karen will not be especially cool. Temperatures will still average above normal for the rest of next week.
