According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, Rockland, Westchester and a bit of Orange County are experiencing moderate drought conditions, as is Long Island, and most of New York is classified as abnormally dry.

The Drought Monitor reports they're seeing declining streamflows and a lack of rain over the past 90 days (less than half of normal) across much of the Northeast.

Locally, rain could come Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday -- but even then the chances are low.

"The heat will hold for Sunday and into Monday, when we actually may see some humidity levels rise just a bit," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. "As we move into Tuesday and Wednesday, it appears like the humidity will rise… and we’ll have a chance of scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Something we could certainly use. Our drought situation continues to worsen…"
