Posted

The National Weather Service says we can expect a good deal of sunshine with maybe a little bit of cirrus clouds toward the mountains today, and continued clear skies right through the Labor Day weekend.

Winds will be light today with high temperatures two to three degrees warmer than yesterday, which puts highs in the lower to mid 70s.

Lows tonight will be in the low 50s under clear skies with light northeast winds becoming calm, the NWS says.

A large area of high pressure is becoming established over the North Country and will persist right through the middle of next week.

This will lead to warming temperatures each day with above normal readings expected through much of next week. Plenty of sunshine will also exist and no precipitation is expected.

High temperatures right through Tuesday are expected to be from 80 to 85, and overnight lows gradually becoming warmer through Tuesday night, ranging from about 50,degrees to about 60.
