----------------------------------FORECAST----------------------------------

REST OF TODAY - Temps in the mid 80's will begin to cool down, mostly sunny with some clouds, southerly flow will continue to bring humid(er) air into the region behind the warm front to our north.

TONIGHT - Lows in the low 60's to high 50's well to the north of NYC. Some clouds, mostly clear though.

TUESDAY - A bit warmer, highs in the mid to high 80's, small chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon, more so if to the north in Putnam Valley/Central Hudson Valley..otherwise, partly cloudy, mostly sunny, humid.

WEDNESDAY - Chance of t-storms and rain in the late afternoon/evening, otherwise highs around 80-83°, partly cloudy/partly sunny.

THURSDAY - Another chance of t-storms in the afternoon and light rain throughout the day as well, otherwise a tad cooler highs around 80°. Humid.

-----------------------FORECAST DISCUSSION---------------------------

First, a very very happy Memorial Day to all, and a HUGE, MONUMENTAL thanks to all the service members who have dedicated themselves and their families to protecting our country.

Next, HUGE amounts of rain pummeling the southern Plains and Texas, places in Oklahoma and Texas have received over 2 feet of rain in the last couple of weeks! Massive flooding is going on as well from the rain, lets wish them all a speedy recovery!

Some drought relief coming for us, somewhat. See, we will get rain, but the ground is so dry, and warm that evo-transpiration evaporation will exceed precipitation, and so while we may not get deeper into drought, we will not get better...that being said, we are not in THAT bad of a situation.

The Bermuda high is strengthening, and so will promote the SW flow to continue over the next couple of days bringing in warm and humid air into the region through the end of the week, that being said coastal areas will stay in the mid to upper 70's as those sea breezes kick up. You will notice it a bit windier this week...anyway. Ridging will continue to retrograde and expand westward over the week, the Bermuda High will stay in place and warm air will continue to pump pump its way in. Cold front drops in through the weekend, probably late Saturday night into Sunday and this could bring some nice rain....timing still iffy so lets wait on this, but definitely more organized then the thunderstorms this week.

Summer forecast will not be out until Mid June, Dillon and I have finals, and research work to do, and we feel it is best to wait until Summer OFFICIALLY starts..also a lot of things changing right now that could impact the summer, so lets wait and see.

About Us

Remy Mermelstein - I am 16 and in 10th grade at Irvington High School in Irvington, NY. My love for weather has been around all my life, starting with my absolute obsession with winter and snowstorms since I was a toddler. In addition to weather, I pursue an active life in architecture, interning at a local architects office (Website can be found HERE) and doing many community projects, building, designing and landscaping. I am pursuing a pilot’s license as well, and my knowledge and love for weather helps greatly when flying. My weather page, Weather or Not in the Rivertowns with Remy Mermelstein has been up for about a year now, and I update it at least every other day or more with the latest in weather. I study weather extensively on my own time, and am extremely active in the forums on many weather sites, my favorite being Weatherbell where the knowledge of some of the world’s greatest forecasters are available to me, as well as the massive community of meteorologists, climatologists and pure hobbyists this world has. Dillon and I are also currently working with Joe D'aleo on Science Research involving correlations and effects between the NAO/AO/AMO/PDO...etc... Every day brings a new realm of learning to us here at Weather in the Hud, and every day we learn more. So thank you for joining us here to read our forecasts! And, as always, if you have suggestions, advice about our posts, or the weather and our forecasting PLEASE tell us - we are still students and we recognize that, and want to learn as much as we can. Thank you.

Dillon Palmieri – Hi! I am a sophomore at Irvington High School in New York. Like my colleague Remy, my obsession with meteorology started at a young age when I became fascinated by tornadoes at the age of four. From there, my interest in the field expanded to winter storms, severe weather, and finally grew enough for me to want to create my own weather forecasts. Starting last spring (2014), I began officially doing weather forecasts for the public in the Hudson Valley region with Remy on our Facebook page Weather or Not in the Rivertowns. Our popularity quickly grew into hundreds of followers as our forecasts were consistently accurate and provided detailed information that would otherwise not be provided for a specific area such as the Hudson Valley. I also am currently working with Joe D'Aleo, a very well-known meteorologist employed at Weatherbell on a science research project studying the effects of the AMO, PDO, NAO, and AO on global climate. I wish to thank you for visiting our site and please know we welcome any and all input from our followers to make our site better.
