...Dry through Wednesday, Gusty Winds and Wetting Rain Late Week...
.DISCUSSION...
Surface high pressure will keep cooler and drier air in place
through Wednesday as a deepening trough approaches by late week.
Minimum relative humidity values will bottom out in the 30-40%
range tomorrow for most areas, with potentially near critical
values in the wider valleys, but with excellent recovery in the
overnight periods. Winds through mid-week will remain on the calm
side with variable flow limiting fire concerns through Wednesday.
A few isolated showers, an isolated rumble of thunder, potentially
a rare dry thunderstorm as these showers carry little
precipitable water, are possible across the Adirondacks and
northern Greens today and tomorrow afternoon. By Thursday, the
potential for wetting rain increases late in the day as a cold
front moves into the area. Gusty winds associated with the front
could reach towards 30-35 mph at times in the Adirondacks and
northern Greens, which could lead to some fire weather concerns
prior to the arrival of the front.
