The Hudson Valley’s dry streak looks likely to continue this week, as sunshine remains abundant with a mix of crisp mornings and warmer afternoons.
A cold front will push through the region on Monday night, leading to cooler weather on Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by more warmth, especially on Friday.
If it doesn’t rain through Halloween, the region’s dry streak would reach two weeks. Every day beyond two weeks becomes more statistically uncommon around here. Dry stretches as long as this one don’t come around too often!
A storm system could gather to the west of the region next weekend, although the chances for rain on Saturday and/or Sunday don’t look high enough to mention in the forecast at this point.
Also, right now, Halloween is looking comfortably warm.
Looking ahead to early November, there are signs of more mild weather, though rain chances are expected to increase. That’s because of an active jet stream pattern from El Niño.
That’s another reason to enjoy the current calm conditions — because they won’t last.
I’m expecting quite a stormy winter across the region, which you can read all about in my winter outlook, which was just released yesterday.
Hudson Valley winter outlook 2026-27
This winter in the Hudson Valley will coincide with the strongest El Niño on record.
I’ll keep this update short and charge my batteries for the busy season ahead ✌️
