After a wholesome dose of rain within the tri-state final weekend, this weekend might be fairly completely different.
The area is parched from months of below-normal rainfall and there’s no finish in sight.
The weekend forecast is a winner, with afternoon temperatures hovering a level or two above regular, close to 80 levels. There’s solely the slightest likelihood for scattered sprinkle late Saturday night time and once more late Sunday. Many areas might be rain-free all weekend, so don’t alter your outside plans because of climate.
Count on solely hint quantities of rain the place it does fall.
Heading into the final full week of summer time with no large rain probabilities in sight, an intensifying Northeast drought stays a problem. Within the tri-state space it isn’t too severe but; it’s average and comparatively remoted. However it’s going to turn out to be a much bigger downside except we get extra frequent episodes of rain.
Northern New England is in a lot worse form. Extreme drought situations lengthen from far Northeastern New York by means of Vermont, New Hampshire and far of Central Maine. A small part of New Hampshire is even below excessive drought situations.
Timing of a Northeast drought couldn’t be worse for fall foliage lovers. When timber are careworn from drought, leaves usually flip brown as an alternative of vibrant pink, orange or yellow. And peak shade in these elements is coming quickly – early to mid October – so there’s little to no time to recuperate.
Just like the tri-state, New England is in for a dry weekend, too. However will probably be a pleasant weekend for vacationers. No climate worries wherever from New England to the mid-Atlantic.
