Queens residents should prepare to quickly escape the rain that's foreseen "mainly before 2pm," following a forecast which mirrors those of its city compatriots, also providing warning of a 90% chance for precipitation. Despite the rain, temperatures are expected to remain consistent, with residents enjoying highs that are hovering "near 75" during the majority of the week.
