Sunny start to September

Update #669: a new month, but the same pleasant weather in the Hudson Valley.

September is nearly here, according to the calendar. With all of the comfy weather recently, Mother Nature seems to think it’s already September!

That also means meteorological fall is starting.

But don’t worry — if you’re not ready for summer to be over yet, you have until the 22nd according to the astronomical season.

And if you’re wondering what the fall season will bring, you can check out my Hudson Valley fall outlook.

The week ahead

It will be a nice, dry start to the week before a front moves through the region on Friday. Another front may swing through on Saturday, ushering more cool air.

Monday: a pleasant start to the week

Tuesday: nice again, a little warmer

Wednesday: like Tuesday, but a touch warmer

Thursday: warmer again, sunshine

Friday: more humid with scattered showers and storms possible

Saturday-Sunday: probably a muggy and warm start followed by a dry, cooler finish

The week of September 8 is currently looking cool, comfortable, and mostly dry.

While the weather has recently been sensational in central and eastern states, remarkably high heat is hitting western Canada. Low 100s are forecast in British Columbia this week, setting records for the highest temperatures this late in the summer in Canada.

Have a sunny start to September… and school ✌️

As an unseasonably cool air mass surges into the U.S. later this week, it will be very hot in Canada

Stunning late-summer weather at the U.S. Capitol

Not a cloud to be found at the Washington Monument
