Stormy Work Week Ahead For Long Island
Thunderstorms and heavy rain threaten two days of the work week. We do get one downright perfect summer day, though.
If you come down with a case of the Mondays, it certainly won't be because of the weather. Sunny skies, a high near 80 and low humidity are in the forecast for the island.
But Mother Nature is fickle and doesn't want us to have too much of good thing.
"Humidity and warmth will build and the thunderstorm chances will return toward the middle of the week," AccuWeather Meteorologist Dean DeVore says.

Thunderstorms and heavy rain that could cause flooding will be possible on both Wednesday and Thursday, the National Weather Service says.
A cold front will finally move through on Friday, with high pressure building across the region into the weekend, and a return to seasonable temperatures and much lower humidity levels.
