STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Monday temperatures will keep us relatively warm, with a forecast of 54 degrees and slight winds, however there is an 80% chance of rain after 9 p.m., with an inch of precipitation possible, according to the National Weather Service.
The rest of the week could be wet as well, with a chance of showers every day from Tuesday to Sunday.
A 20 to 60% chance of rain is expected throughout the week, with average temperatures ranging from 52 to 67 degrees.
A thunderstorm is possible for Friday and could be potentially dangerous if a person is outdoors and is not taking precautionary action, officials warn.
Although the likelihood of someone getting struck by lightning in a given year is one in 500,000, being outside puts you at a significantly higher risk and around 33 deaths caused by lightning occur each year in the United States, according to the Center for Disease Control.
It is recommended that individuals find a safe place to take shelter, somewhere away from concrete walls and floors because of metal wires or bars.
Saturday will have mostly-cloudy skies at night and Sunday we could see partly-sunny skies and a high of 66 degrees but continue with rain later on in the day.
