Heat: Work Week Weather for Tarrytown

TARRYTOWN, NY — The rain, such as it is, is welcome; but, those clouds won't stay around. And mercifully, neither will the humidity.

Some areas of the Hudson Valley will have gotten significant rain, but others will have again only traces by the time the front moves through Monday night.

Bill Potter at Hudson Valley Weather promises lower humidity levels by midweek.

"The persistent ridge of high pressure that has kept us dry will still be present this week," he said. "That means dry conditions return, and so does the heat. Now that average highs are 'only' in the low to mid 70s… 'hot' days for mid to late September are 80° or higher. And a quick check at the HVW 5 DAY FORECAST will show you, we have plenty of heat left in the forecast."

Here is the National Weather Service forecast for southern Westchester County:
