Friday's opening shot

Taking stock after the heavy rains late yesterday afternoon, which saw flash flooding in some parts of the five boroughs. (We didn't hear about any storm-related damage here.) 

After the storms have passed, we're in for some (thank you!) cooler, drier (humidity-wise) weather. Those morning clouds will give way to some sunny skies later... and the weekend weather is near summer-perfect: Low 80, sunny, no humidity.

So open the windows wide... unless you live around 4th and B, where workers are jackhammering.
