Much-needed rain possibly on the way. Here's the First Alert Forecast.
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 forecast
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.
Looking ahead
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!
