High Pressure controls the weather around the Northeast today. The result? Sunny, dry and warm here in the HV.

WEEKEND WEATHER UPDATE FOR THE HV: Rain showers will be likely Friday morning, but we should gradually dry out during Friday afternoon. I don't see much rain Friday afternoon here in the HV even though it may remain cloudy. Saturday will feature some extra clouds, I'll call it partly sunny, but it does look dry at this point. Sunday looks to be the best day of the weekend with mostly sunny skies expected. Highs this weekend will be in the 70s. The normal high this weekend here in the HV is 79-80F.

Labor Day Forecast Update: Today will not be a washout here in the Hudson Valley. The morning will be mostly cloudy, but mainly dry. The afternoon will be partly sunny with scattered storms. But like yesterday, most of today will be dry. So just keep an eye-to-the sky this afternoon. You may need a rain delay. It will be warm and humid, with highs today in the 80s.

Dewpoints are the measure of how much moisture is in the atmosphere; or better yet, how humid it is! During the summer, dewpoints in the 50s produce very comfortable conditions, while dewpoints in the 70s produce extremely humid conditions. Yesterday, dewpoints were in the 70s here in the Hudson Valley. Today, as you can see, they are falling through the 60s and will be in the 50s by tonight. Therefore, it will be very comfortable outdoors.

We will be watching a batch of moisture to the south of the Hudson Valley over the next few days. It looks as if most of this rain will stay just east of the Hudson Valley as we head through the mid-week.However, if this moisture moves more north than northeast, we could see more in the way of rain during the midweek. Stay close to News12 for the very latest over the next 48-72 hours.

Weekend Weather Update for the HV: Friday will be totally dry, breezy and pleasant. Saturday will be mostly cloudy with scattered mainly afternoon showers. While Saturday is not going to be a total washout, I think all of us will see a shower or two at some point. Sunday continues to look totally dry and pleasant.

Low pressure will slowly ride up the east coast today. The result will be occasional rain here in the Hudson Valley. The rain will stay mainly light however, so no issues are expected. A stiff east wind will make it feel cooler, so take the jacket and the umbrella along today. Dry and warm weather will return for Friday and the weekend.

Here are updated pollen counts for the Hudson Valley. The next chance for a soaking rain, that will wash a lot of this pollen from the air, will be Friday night.

Gonzalo is becoming a major hurricane just north of Puerto Rico. But luckily, Gonzalo will move away from Puerto Rico today, and stay well east of the US East Coast.

Here are rain totals from the storm that has affected the Hudson Valley over the past 18-24 hours.

HV WEEKEND WEATHER UPDATE: Conditions are currently looking dry, but cool for the upcoming weekend here in the Hudson Valley. Saturday will feature sun and clouds, with high temps only in the upper 40s. High temps should be in the middle 50s during early November. While a shower is possible Saturday night, Sunday is looking dry and a bit warmer, with highs creeping back into the lower 50s.

WEDNESDAY STORM UPDATE: Here are my thoughts concerning the storm for Wednesday. It looks as if snow and rain will overspead the Hudson Valley Wednesday morning. Orange and Putnam counties will see mainly snow, with Rockland and Westchester seeing rain to start. That rain will then turn to snow as we head through Wednesday afternoon. Most of us will see snow Wednesday night. The snow will end by midnight Wednesday night. At this point, light to moderate snow amounts are possible with the best chance to see moderate snow amounts up near I-84. I will have snowfall numbers for you Tuesday morning.
