TIME FOR A CHECK ON THE FORECAST. JOHN ELLIOTT IS LIVE IN EAST HARLEM WITH YOUR FIRST ALERT FORECAST. I THINK HE IS HIDING. >> Reporter: NO, NO, NO, CINDY, I AM TRYING TO GET INTO MY WORK. I HAVE BEEN PLANTED HERE ALL MORNING. I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A TREAT BECAUSE I COULD OPEN A BRANCH OFFICE AND GO OUT ON A LEAF. LET'S TALK ABOUT WATERING. WE ARE SEEING WATERING GOING ON IN THE AREA AND WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF STORMS. FROM UNDERNEATH THE METRO NORTH LINE TO THE CITY, IT LOOKS GRAY AND WE WILL HAVE MORE HUMIDITY TODAY AND MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ALL DAY. 77 IS THE CURRENT READING.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY FOR IT. IT IS A LITTLE UNSETTLED. MORE CLOUDS THAN YESTERDAY, THE INTERRUPTIONS BRIEF BUT THEY CAN SOMETIMES BE RELATED TO A STORM. GREATER STORM COVERAGE ON MONDAY, A REPEAT TOMORROW WITH PASSING STORMS. AFTER THAT, OUR COLLEAGUE, GREG, IS UPSET BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A HEAT WAVE NEXT WEEK. IT IS PUSHING INTO QUEENS AND THEY JUST MOVED SO SLOWLY AND THAT IS WHY WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT LOCALIZED FLOODING, PONDING ON ROADWAYS. ANOTHER ONE PUSHING INTO PARTS OF PUTNAM COUNTY. AND THEN A BREAK, MORNING ROUND AND THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE CHARGED AGAIN WITH ANOTHER

ROUTE THIS AFTERNOON. TIMESTAMP ON TOP OF THE TV SCREEN, BUT THE COMPUTERS ARE PICKING UP ON THE ISOLATED NATURE OF THE STORMS. THEY ARE VERY PRODUCTIVE. THE HIGHER DEW POINTS WILL LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLOODING AROUND INDIVIDUAL STORMS, BELOW SEVERE THRESHOLD WITH THE WIND TODAY, BUT THE PONDING, THAT UNDERWAY SCENARIO. TOMORROW LOOKS TO BE MORE BENIGN AND MAYBE BRIGHTER. ON MONDAY, EVEN EARLY MONDAY MORNING WE HAVE SOME STORMS TO DEAL WITH. THE MORNING COMMUTE ON MONDAY, IF YOU HAVE A FLIGHT, LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH, CHECK YOUR CARRIER. WATCH THE AFTERNOON DRIVE, THAT

IS WHERE WE SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS. MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH STRAIGHT, PASSING SHOWERS AND ISOLATED STORMS LIKE WE SEE NOW IN QUEENS. SUNDAY, WE WILL SEE A REPEAT EBE BEFORE IT LEGESSTS.
