Yesterday was just glorious. Definitely a top 10 day. And the Astros won with the roof open. Today will be fairly nice, albeit a bit warmer and just a tinge more humid. Look for humidity to increase a bit further this weekend before we get involved in a little mischief and hopefully some meaningful rain chances next week.
Today
More of the same from the last couple days; just add about 5 degrees or so. Look for ample sunshine and slowly increasing humidity. We’ll top off generally in the mid-80s, with a few spots a little hotter.
Weekend
Both Saturday and Sunday look predominantly dry, so if you have outdoor plans, you should be fine. I mean, I guess a sprinkle or shower is possible on Sunday, but I won’t belabor the point. Look for sunny skies Saturday with a few more clouds on Sunday. Temperatures should be in the mid to upper-80s.
If you want to complain about something other than hotter temps, perhaps the wind may draw your ire this weekend. We expect southerly winds sustained around 10 to 20 mph, with gusts up over 25 mph at times, especially over the water or at night in far inland locations. It will be the strongest onshore wind we’ve had since possibly springtime.
Monday and Tuesday
Our first attempt at mischief comes later Monday and Tuesday as a cold front approaches from the west. There are still questions as to how much moisture this front will have, but at the very least there’s a notable chance for a period of showers, possibly some heavy ones, Monday night or Tuesday. I wouldn’t get my hopes up for major drought relief, but we’re hopeful for some meaningful rain at least. I’m not sure how your backyard is doing, but I have only seen a quarter-inch in mine over the last 45 days. Any rain is better than none.
It will be a warm and humid Monday with decreasing humidity later Tuesday. We should manage the 80s on Monday, with morning lows in the 70s. Tuesday will be a bit cooler with 70s from morning into afternoon.
Later next week through Halloween
After a couple cool days Wednesday into Thursday (AM lows in the 50s), we’ll probably get another surge of humidity on Friday before a cold front wipes it out late or into Saturday. Again, the big question swirls around how much rain we’ll actually see. Much like with Tuesday, I would remain cautiously optimistic for some helpful rain. That should setup a lovely weekend. The early read on Halloween is probably seasonably pleasant (think maybe 60s at Trick or Treat time), but we’ll check in on that more next week.
No NY weather report for the Astros over the weekend?
Sunday’s game begins at 4:07 Central Daylight Time. A 50% chance of off and on showers in the afternoon. After 5:00 P.M., C.D.T., a 70% chance of likely rain. The forecasted temperatures during game is 62° Fahrenheit to 58° F.
Monday’s game begins at 3:07 P.M., C.D.T. A 70% chance of showers in the afternoon. After 5:00 P.M. C.D.T., a 30% chance of lingering showers. Temperatures are forecasted in between 68° F. and 61° F. I hope this helps.
Actually SUNDAY’S game begins at 6:07 P.M. Central Daylight Time.
SATURDAY’S game begins at 4:07 P.M. C.D.T. and forecasted temperatures are between 68° Fahrenheit and 56° F.
Game 3 looks fine. Game 4 is the big question mark. I think they need to push up the start time some more, but we’ll see. A decent chance of rain. Definitely potential for a mess like game 5 was vs. CLE for the Yankees. Should it be needed, game 5 looks fine as well.
Any rain expected from Rosalyn?
Some of its remnant rain could get mixed up in Monday night’s front, so that’s why we’re sort of optimistic we get at least some rain from that one.
