Work Week Weather: Hot and Humid Early in the Week, Cooler Later

Written by LANNING TALIAFERRO (Patch Staff)

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

Moderate may be the wrong word for Wednesday night, when temperatures are predicted to drop into the mid- to low-40s.

It will be warm and humid on Monday into Tuesday—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.”

Here’s the forecast from the National Weather Service for southern Westchester:

Tonight: Patchy fog after midnight. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with lows in the low 60s. South wind 6 to 11 mph becoming light after midnight.
