.DISCUSSION... Key Message: No precipitation chances in the next seven days with seasonable temperatures returning by midweek.
A rinse and repeat of the forecast from yesterday. No changes in the NBM and ensemble forecast model guidances with upper level ridging in place and surface high pressure is overhead contributing to dry conditions and no precipitation chances across eastern New York and western New England this week. Early morning patchy fog could develop, especially in river valley locations. Today and tomorrow, we`ll continue to observe temperatures five to ten degrees above normal with highs in the upper 60s and in the 70s. A dry cold front moves through tonight into tomorrow from the north bringing colder air behind where temperatures Tuesday night into Wednesday morning drop 20 to 30 degrees with lows ranging the 30s and low 40s. Wednesday is still on track to be a seasonable fall day with highs in the upper 50s and low to mid-60s. A rogue wind gust up to 25 mph can`t be ruled out in the higher terrain of the eastern Catskills during the overnight hours Tuesday, then winds are trending to gust between 10 and 20 mph for Wednesday afternoon. Winds in the Hudson River Valley could gust between 15 and 20 mph during the afternoon hours Wednesday. A good drying day as well for Wednesday as soil moisture [based on Multi-Radar Multi- Sensor (MRMS) data] across much of eastern New York and western New England is still between 35 and 90 percent. By Wednesday night, winds become calmer and continue to range between calm and up to 10 mph through the end of the week as the center of the surface high pressure system is right overhead.
Frost conditions are currently present for Wednesday night into Thursday morning across the eastern Catskills, southern Vermont, Berkshires, and the southern Adirondacks. We`ll continue to monitor temperatures, winds, and sky cover trends this week as conditions are currently favorable for calm winds and low temperatures below 36 degrees. If temperatures fall below 32 degrees, freeze conditions could occur in the southern Adirondacks, but as the Frost/Freeze program ends for them on the 1st, headlines will likely not be issued for there. Nevertheless, be prepared to protect plants and vegetation Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Otherwise, most locations could observe low temperatures Thursday morning in the mid 30s to low 40s. High temperatures Thursday continue to range in the 50s and 60s.
A few locations in southern Vermont and the southern Adirondacks could see some clear skies for good radiational cooling on Friday morning and allow for patchy frost to develop, but forecast confidence at this time is low for the rest of the eastern New York and western New England region as high clouds are forecasted to move through which could contribute to limiting how cool temperatures get on Thursday night into Friday morning. Low temperatures range in the mid 30s to low 40s Friday morning. High temperatures for Friday range in the 60s and low 70s. Low temperatures range Saturday morning in the 40s. For this weekend, we return to 5 to 10 degrees above normal for high temperatures with highs ranging in the low to upper 70s. Lows range in the 40s.
