#HudsonValley: prepare for a big temperature swing! This week will start warm in the Hudson Valley, but it won’t end that way. The rainy remnants of Hurricane Isaias are on the Hudson Valley’s doorstep. But once they clear on Monday, a rather warm stretch of mid-October weather will follow. This warmth is connected to the remnants of another tropical storm, named Rachel, racing through the deserts of Southern California and Nevada. As the Hudson Valley gets rain on Sunday, so will the country’s driest place: Death Valley, California. There could be considerable flooding in parts of the West. This large, slow-moving western disturbance will help to blow warm air into the East to start the week. But by Saturday, the Hudson Valley may feel its first true Arctic air mass of the season, and there could even be some flurries near the Great Lakes. In other words, hold on for the ride! Is this impending cold blast a sign of things to come this winter? My Hudson Valley winter outlook is taking shape and will be released to premium subscribers on Saturday, October 24.

A cool down late in the week could be a shock to the system. Monday: warmer with clouds giving way to sun Tuesday: remaining toasty for the time of year; a warm night Wednesday: warmer than average again; chance for a passing shower Thursday: cooler, sunny Friday: strong cold front approaches with rain and wind Saturday-Sunday: much cooler and windy! November-like 📉 Looking ahead to the week of October 19, temperatures should rebound pretty quickly back into the 60s and perhaps 70s. It currently looks drier than normal.
