August's Final Weekend: Nanuet Weather

NANUET, NY — It's going to be a hot one — but still better than a couple of weeks ago — and good weather for outdoor activities.

"The weekend looks excellent… a fine summer finish for the final weekend of August," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. "Saturday should see tons of sunshine and blue skies, with afternoon highs in the mid to upper 80s… but with comfortable humidity levels (dew point near 60°). Sunday looks partly cloudy, temps again in the mid to upper 80s, but with slightly higher humidity (dew point 60° to 65°)."

It's a great weekend for an outing. Consider the State Fair or the Dutchess County Fair or something else on this list.
