Some thunderstorms may be strong today in the Hudson Valley area. VFR Flying should be limited to areas south of NYC. Storms will fire up later today with a cold front moving in from the west. Winds are averaging 5 to 15 mph from the SW.

The cold front should clear tonight ending the threat of showers/storms.

A great weekend weatherwise is on tap. VFR flying will be the rule during the day, some fog can’t be ruled out in isolated valleys and along the coast.

Winds this weekend will average around 10 mph with no gusts.

Minimal VFR conditions the next few days, showers and maybe a thunderstorm possible but nothing heavy. Winds will remain from the south at 10 to 15 mph.

Clearing skies on Thursday with north winds around 15 mph.

VFR conditions right through Friday.

A frontal boundary will drape around the area this week bringing with it showers with scattered rain showers. If you plan on flying Tuesday through Friday, watch for those thunderstorms, we don’t expect them to be strong though. Winds will be much lighter than the last few days! Temperatures will warm each day to the mid and upper 70′s by Friday.

This workweek, we can expect mostly cloudy skies with a few breaks in between. Breezy days and calm nights. Mainly VFR with ocassional MVFR/IFR in showers, but it will be limited.

Friday we will see some improvement.

The weather will deteriorate later this afternoon bringing the first threat of showers/thundershowers by 7:00 p.m.

Tonight we can expect showers to be ongoing and tapering off late.

Sunday will become stormy later in the day! Winds will increase and windshear will be a problem tomorrow evening. Winds will average 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph tomorrow night, definitely not a good flying night. Delays can be expected at our Hudson Valley area airports. Lots of ponding of water on runways.

Monday will still be rather wet with IFR conditions possibly improving late.

More later

A good flying week (VFR) is anticipated. I would suspect more clouds on Wednesday and Thursday but should remain mainly dry,  winds look to remain from a north westerly or westerly direction at 10-15 mph. Highs will range from the low to mid 70′s today, a bit cooler Wednesday and Thursday. Lows in the 40′s around the Hudson Valley area. Saturday and Sunday may bring more clouds and possibly a shower Sunday.

Overall, a good flying week (VFR) is anticipated. I would suspect more clouds on Wednesday and Thursday but should remain mainly dry, a stray shower may be possible. Winds look to remain from a westerly or southwesterly direction at 10-15 mph,  a far cry from the 30 to 40 mph gusts which we recently experienced the last few days. Highs will range from the low to mid 50′s. Lows in the 30′s around the Hudson Valley area.

Expect breezy conditions today with winds between 15 and 25 mph under sunny skies. We don’t expect any fog or low clouds until Sunday night. Winds will slacken off tonight and remain at 10 mph or less. Tomorrow will will average 10-15 mph.

After record breaking warmth the last few weeks, we can expect more seasonable weather to take hold. Flying conditions will be mainly VFR with no real chances of fog in the mornings like we’ve experienced the last few weeks. Winds will subside this afternoon to around 15 mph from the northwest. Wednesday, showers may pop up in the afternoon. Thursday and Friday look fair with VFR conditions. More later.

After record breaking warm temperatures, much cooler weather will encompass the region through next week. A few showers will develop tomorrow through Sunday bringing about a half inch of rain. Breezy conditions will develop Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures will average between 55-60 degrees for the next few days. Sunny weather will return next Tuesday. A warm front will approach next Wednesday along with a few showers and moderating temperatures. If you plan on flying VFR, Saturday will be the best day.
