Pleasant and dry start to weekend follows hot and humid week, but storms return Sunday

After a steamy and stormy stretch of weather to close out the work week, the weekend will start dry, slightly cooler, and much less humid. A much drier air mass will move into the tri-state for much of the weekend. And, while temperatures Saturday and Sunday afternoon will top out near 90 degrees – very hot for this time of year – there won’t be a heat index to contend with.  On Saturday, expect plenty of sunshine and no showers or storms.  If you’ve got Mets tickets or are lucky enough to have tickets to the World Cup soccer match in East Rutherford, you’ll be in great shape. Sunday is the big Puerto Rican Day Parade, and the weather should cooperate.  The parade starts at 11 a.m. and should be rain-free.  A cold front will push through the area Sunday night, generating a line of strong to severe storms that could produce damage.  They are most likely to push through between late-afternoon and mid-evening. Behind Sunday night’s front, much cooler air envelop

Shohei Ohtani misses Dodgers' series opener against White Sox due to knee soreness

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani is day to day with left knee inflammation. Ohtani was sidelined for Friday night’s 8-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox. But manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani could play this weekend and remains in line to make his next scheduled start on the mound on Wednesday. Ohtani was lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh inning of Thursday night’s 8-6 win at Pittsburgh. “He’s doing fine today,” Roberts said before the series opener against the White Sox. “I think that we got some pictures. There was no findings. It’s just the normal wear and tear. I thought initially it was a hamstring, it was the knee. So it just kind of got upset, swelled up a little bit.” Ohtani, 31, is batting .305 with 13 homers and 40 RBIs in 67 games for the NL West leaders. On the mound, the reigning NL MVP is 6-2 with a 1.06 ERA in 11 starts. Ohtani had surgery on his left knee in September 2019. Roberts said the swelling is in the back of the knee. “That’s wh
