New York City and the surrounding area could see rain showers or storms Thursday afternoon into the evening commute.
It’s our first significant chance of rain in some time, and might impact getting around.
Tri-State rain timeline

While we’re tracking the possibility of showers or a storm later today, just about all of the daytime hours will be dry.
Expect mostly to partly sunny skies this afternoon, with highs right around 80 degrees. It’ll be breezy as well, with gusts 20-30 mph possible. Overall, a decent one.
After about 6 p.m., a broken line of showers and storms will approach our western suburbs and progress east. They’ll be weaking as they do, so not expecting much in the way of widespread impacts.
The city may get wet sometime after 8 p.m., or so. If you’ll be out this evening, just grab the umbrella in case.
Overnight lows will be in the 60s.
