Short-term: Tonight stays dry with increasing southerly to southwesterly winds. Tuesday will be warmer than average, with 80s west and 70s east, and gusty southwest winds. Dry fuels, low humidity, and these winds will create an elevated risk of fire spread, especially from New York City north and into southern Connecticut. 🔥🌤️ Long-term: A strong cold front brings increasing rain chances late Tuesday night, with a widespread, moderate rainfall mainly Wednesday afternoon and evening, possibly a rumble of thunder. Showers may linger into Thursday but should be lighter, with clouds clearing later Thursday night into Friday as more seasonable 60s return. 🌧️☁️
