Here comes a taste of fall
Update #668: a taste of fall is headed for the Hudson Valley! Temperatures will dip into the 40s this week.
Happy almost meteorological fall!
Cool, crisp air from Canada will blow into the country this week, making it feel more like September in the Hudson Valley.
The cool air will last most of the week and come with largely dry conditions. Nighttime temperatures will dip into the 40s — more typical of late September.
You can partially thank Hurricane Erin — not just for staying offshore, but for reshuffling pressure patterns in the Northern Hemisphere and allowing cool air to filter southward from polar regions.
For many people, it’s a welcome-but-stark reversal from relentless heat and humidity earlier in the season.

The week ahead
The week ahead will be cool, comfortable and mostly rain-free in the Hudson Valley. It’s getting a bit dry out there, so some soaking rain wouldn’t hurt — but not this week.
Monday: mostly sunny, probably the warmest day of the week
Tuesday: notably cooler, feeling fall-like
Wednesday: a crisp morning and comfy afternoon
Thursday: cool morning, warm afternoon
Friday: another cold front may bring a chance for a passing shower or t-storm
Saturday-Sunday: probably a dry weekend with comfortable conditions
Looking ahead to the week of Sept. 1 — and the start of school 🏫 — it will probably turn a bit warmer. Drier than normal conditions look likely to continue.
Due to travel, my newsletters may not arrive at their normal time the next few weeks.
Keep an eye out for the fall outlook next weekend!
