According to Storm Team 4 NY, daytime heating combined with a good amount of instability through the end of the week could stir up a few late-day showers and thunderstorms each day. Some of those could turn severe, though the primary risk is well west of New York City.
Given the warnings, it is advisable to stay hydrated and wear loose-fitting and light-colored clothing while trying to stay away from the sun.
