Northeast to See Warmer and Drier Weather to Start October

High Pressure Brings More Sunshine to the Northeast

The sun will be shining from the Mississippi Valley to the Eastern Seaboard throughout this week. An area of high pressure will move from the Midwest into the Northeast, which will help bring warmer temperatures and eliminate any moisture hanging around.

The Upper Midwest could see record-high temperatures, and while the East Coast will experience warmer weather, this area won't be breaking any records.

New York was likely happy to see the sun shining and upper 70's on Sunday and will continue to see this pattern for the next few days. Buffalo, New York is forecasted to see temperatures even higher in the 80's on Tuesday and Wednesday. Despite this warmup, residents should still be cautious of any areas that may pose a risk from flooding.

Across the Great Lakes and into the central and southern Appalachians is expected to see temperatures 10 to 15 degrees above the historical average for the first week of October.

The warm, dry pattern will spread to New England, with Boston seeing as high as the 70's early this week. Farther south, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. will see temperatures up to 8 degrees higher than historical averages for early October.

Pittsburgh and Syracuse could see temperatures as high as the 80's, which is about 10 degrees higher than average for this time of year.

Warm Weather to Spread to Southeast

The Northeast isn't the only area that will feel the sunshine, as farther Southeast will also see warmer temperatures. Atlanta, Raleigh, and Charlotte will see temperatures in the mid 80's with low humidity levels.

Unfortunately, this weather pattern won't last as long for the Southeast coast as this area can expect to see rain later this week. Parts of the Appalachians could also see foggy conditions, which may create visibility issues for morning commuters.
