Will it be a hot summer in the Hudson Valley?
Find out about possible temperature, rain, and humidity patterns in this summer outlook.
Hello and welcome to this special update! This week, we’ll do a little crystal ball gazing into possible summer weather patterns in the Hudson Valley.
First, a quick forecast for the week ahead, then we’ll get into it.
A high temperature of 97 degrees last Tuesday. Steady rain with temperatures in the 40s early Sunday. What a roller coaster. The week ahead will be less dramatic.
After a few days with high temperatures in the 80s, an air mass from Canada will usher cooler conditions, especially next weekend. This should also result in minimal rainfall and low humidity levels — with the meteorological summer season little more than a week away.
Monday: rain during the morning, then drying out in the afternoon
Tuesday: warming up with highs in the lower 80s
Wednesday: probably be the warmest day of the week — reaching the mid to upper 80s — before a late-day cold front brings a chance for a passing shower or thunderstorm
Thursday: comfortably warm, stray shower can’t be ruled out
Friday: similar to Thursday, nice
Saturday-Sunday: another cold front will probably cause rather cool conditions for the time of year, especially at night; at this point, a passing shower or two can’t be ruled out, but I don’t think it will define the weekend
Looking ahead to the week of June 1, temperatures look quite comfortable for the time of year as humidity remains low.
Now, to the summer outlook.
