Work Week Weather: Summery to Start

It’ll feel like summer to start off the work week—temperatures on Monday will climb, hitting 80 degrees at 2 p.m. in Brewster, according to weather.com.

For the rest of the week, think mild—the highs will be in the mid-70s and, for the first time, the lows won’t drop into the 40s.

The warm days this week in the Northeast will serve as a preview of the “periods of warmer-than-normal temperatures that will come and go during the course of the summer,” AccuWeather.com Expert Long-Range Forecaster Paul Pastelok expects.

Also, meteorologists continue to monitor the potential for the development of a tropical system off the the SE coast.

“Forecast models have been flirting with this idea for a few days now, and conditions are certainly favorable despite it being early in the season,” said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.

Here’s the work-week forecast from the National Weather Service for Brewster:

• Monday-Sunny, with a high near 81. Light southwest wind increasing to 5 to 10 mph in the morning.
