NYC storm threat fades Friday, but Saturday could get messy"},"content":{"rendered":"

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 In recent days, meteorologists have been monitoring the potential for storms in New York City Friday afternoon, according to Matt Benz, a senior meteorologist with AccuWeather<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although that storm threat has decreased, Saturday may now bring about downpours.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still think there could be a shower or thunderstorm,\u201d Benz said of Friday\u2019s forecast. \u201cYou know, there\u2019s enough moisture in the air that it could produce a downpour, that\u2019s probably about it here though for today for the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

If isolated storms were to form Friday, it could be a wet system that brings rain to one borough but completely misses another. Benz believes that the threat of thunderstorms on Friday will likely range from sometime after 3 or 4 p.m. through 9 or 10 p.m.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s forecast looks more \u201cinteresting\u201d and could feature a higher chance of a thunderstorm beginning in the late morning hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably not looking at severe weather, but downpours will be the main concern with anything,\u201d added Benz.<\/p>\n

The latest trend indicates that Saturday\u2019s storms could be more widespread than anything that forms on Friday. The threat will extend from 11 a.m. through the afternoon hours, clearing out around 6 or 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it could be done earlier than that, but that\u2019s about the latest that it would be sticking around,\u201d Benz explained.<\/p>\n

Looking beyond Saturday, city residents can expect a stretch of dry weather continuing into next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 In recent days, meteorologists have been monitoring the potential for storms in New York…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":292876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[9,24,63,134,136,135],"class_list":["post-292875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-staten-island","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-staten-island","tag-staten-island-headlines","tag-staten-island-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=292875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/292876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=292875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=292875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=292875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
