Rare Dry Spell Continues: Hudson Valley Work Week Weather

Temperatures will continue below normal for this time of year, at least until the end of the work week. Don't forget that it's still, officially, autumn!

"Despite how it may feel… winter hasn’t even started yet. We’ve got a LONG way to go," said Alex Marra and Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.

The good news is that the Hudson Valley should stay dry for another few days.

Our last long dry spell was a-six day break in August (which otherwise was a month of higher-than average rainfall).

"The last time the New York City area had a similar dry stretch was from September to October 2017, when they had 15 consecutive rain-free days," said AccuWeather Meteorologist Brian Thompson.

There is rain in the forecast for Friday, which would bring its own problems when it hits frozen ground. But that's to worry about later.

The National Weather Service says:

• Monday night-Clear, with a low around 17. Light north wind.
• Tuesday-Sunny, with a high near 36. Wind chill values between 15 and 25. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph.
• Tuesday Night-Partly cloudy, with a low around 24. Light and variable wind becoming west around 5 mph in the evening.
• Wednesday-Sunny, with a high near 36. North wind 5 to 9 mph.

• Thursday-Partly sunny, with a high near 33.
• Thursday Night-Mostly cloudy, with a low around 27.
