Additional periods of heavy rain are likely to persist from Monday night into Tuesday, before turning spottier by midweek. Up to 4 inches of rain is probable between Monday and Tuesday, with some locations possibly receiving higher amounts, which have the potential to finally wipe out the existing drought across the Tri-State Area.

Temperature wise, a return to more seasonable readings is anticipated for most of the week, with highs in the 60s and 70s.
