"The weather in the city should stay dry and mild through the week as two tropical systems churn southeast of the city in the Atlantic. National Weather Service meteorologist Brian Ciemnecki said an area of high pressure over the city will keep Tropical Storm Imelda and Hurricane Humberto away from the area. The former drenched the Bahamas this weekend and the latter has been hanging a few hundred miles to its east - and while both are headed north, neither is expected to pose a direct threat to the Tri-State Area."
""Both of these systems are prodded to kind of move off to the east and stay mainly off the mainland, which is good for us," Ciemnecki said, adding the city's coastlines might experience higher surf, rip currents and beach erosion. Parts of New Jersey are under advisories for high rip currents for Tuesday as well. "Those are going to be the indirect impacts that we're going to see from the tropical systems as they pass far south and east of us.""
An area of high pressure over New York City will keep Tropical Storm Imelda and Hurricane Humberto away from the mainland. Both systems are moving north but are forecast to remain mainly off the coast, producing indirect impacts such as higher surf, rip currents, and potential beach erosion along city coastlines. Parts of New Jersey have advisories for high rip currents on Tuesday. Temperatures will be warm through Monday and Tuesday, then drop behind a cold front to the mid-to-upper 60s Wednesday and Thursday, returning to the lower 70s by Friday and remaining in the 70s through the weekend.
