ACTIVE WEEK OF WEATHER TO CLOSE OUT A SULTRY SEPTEMBER

1. Increasing clouds tonight with drizzle developing late. Warm on Monday. Some light rain should move in by late day into the evening with areas west of the Hudson seeing it first. Spotty light rain continues through Monday night into early Tuesday.

2. By Tuesday, temps surge into the 70s once again. At  night, a cold front with ample tropical moisture moves through with moderate to heavy rains and a stray thunderstorm. Front slows down as it works its way through, meaning showers will still be around through most of Wednesday morning before ending. Around an inch of rain is likely with this feature.

3.  Dry for late week, but breezy and much cooler temps beginning on Wednesday and lasting through the weekend.

4. Meanwhile,  a new area of low pressure will strengthen over the mid-Atlantic states late in the week. Complex series of events including some influence from the tropics yet again, could result in a soaking nor'easter for the region for much of Saturday and Saturday night. Coastal flooding, heavy rains and strong winds are the main threats. Astronomical tide will have peaked, which might mitigate the extent of the coastal flooding. Bears close watch.

5. Storm may linger for Sunday and Monday, but with more showery rains and some breaks in the clouds. For now, expect damp and dreary weather during this time frame, with slow improvements by Tuesday.
