Work Week Weather: Warm and (Mostly) Dry

The summer-like feel of our past weekend will continue into mid-week, and then temperatures will moderate for a few days.

It will be warm and humid on Monday into Tuesday, or very similar to July, according to AccuWeather.com. Highs will be well into the 80s. Expect some minimal showers and thunderstorms connected to the tropical storm lashing South Carolina.

“While areas close to the track of Ana and just ahead of the front coming could have enhanced thunderstorms and rainfall, immediately west of Ana there may be a zone where it rains very little and stays relatively sunny,” said AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Dave Dombek.

There will also be long breaks of rain-free weather in between the downpours.

“We will see a cold front push through the Hudson Valley on Tuesday… but even that appears to have minimal rainfall associated with it,” said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. “ In fact… it’s entirely possible that some parts of the area get into the middle of next week without seeing much (if any) measurable rain.”
