First Alert Forecast: Much-needed rain possibly on the way

NEW YORK — It looks like the Tri-State Area will get a substantial soaking of rain later this week, something it definitely needs due drought conditions and the risk of wildfires.
Monday starts mostly cloudy, but skies quickly clear behind the front. Once again, winds pick up with gusts of 20 to 30 mph. So, fire spread will be more of a concern.
It’ll be closer to normal with temperatures in the upper 50s.
Conditions remain in the 50s for the rest of the week. The good news is there’s a decent chance for a steady rain late Wednesday night through Thursday.
Fingers crossed because we really need it!
