Today marks the start of fall 2026, and we are beginning the new season with some sweater weather across the Tri-State. And speaking of autumn, here's a quick look at the difference between meteorological and astronomical fall.
Mostly cloudy skies stick around tonight with temperatures falling to around 60 degrees. A cool breeze will add to the fall feel. The stubborn cloud cover is not going anywhere just yet. Wednesday will bring another mostly cloudy to overcast day with a slight chance for rain and highs near 70 degrees.
A cool, moist northeasterly flow is helping keep the clouds locked in across the region. With limited sunshine, temperatures will struggle to warm much through the middle of the week.
We should finally start to see some breaks in the clouds Thursday afternoon, allowing a little more sunshine to return. By Friday, skies are expected to clear even more with a better chance for mostly sunny conditions. Even with the returning sunshine, temperatures will remain below the seasonal average. Highs will generally stay in the low to mid 70s through the end of the week.
The first weekend of fall is also trending dry, which should be good news for any outdoor plans. Expect a mix of sunshine and clouds with comfortable temperatures continuing.
