Work Week Weather: Summery to Start

It’ll feel like summer to start off the work week—temperatures on Monday will climb, hitting 82 degrees at 3p.m. in Yorktown Heights, 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.

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 northern Westchester:

• Monday-Sunny. Highs around 80. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph.
