Last week featured an abrupt switch to summer-like warmth, with the Hudson Valley’s first 90-degree day of the season on Thursday. It occurred two days later than the average first date of June 3. But it’s not sticking around: the week ahead will feature 70s and 80s rather than 90s, with several opportunities for showers. In case you missed it, I recently published my Hudson Valley summer outlook. Find out about the season’s likely weather patterns by clicking below.

It's about to get very hot and humid across the United States: https://t.co/KOs6SbU8TL

Parts of almost every state are forecast to reach 90 degrees this week as humidity builds. The summer solstice is on Friday! https://t.co/fHhCu5Kxew

#HudsonValley: the summer solstice arrives this week and so does heat and humidity! If you thought the weekends have been particularly rainy, you’d be correct. This weekend marked the eighth consecutive weekend with measurable rainfall in the Hudson Valley, dating back to late https://t.co/YT9wuUWsv2
