Overview

• High pressure shifting offshore is delivering sunny, dry weather with temperatures running roughly 10–20°F above normal across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest.
• National Weather Service offices in Michigan forecast widespread 80s with some spots near 90 and a chance of daily records, alongside elevated fire danger from low humidity.
• Multiple forecasts point to a cold front late Tuesday into Wednesday bringing the next widespread rain chance, followed by a return to cooler, drier Canadian air.
• Expected rainfall is generally light and uneven—often a few tenths to around a half-inch—insufficient to erase entrenched drought deficits across the region.
• Authorities continue public-safety measures as dry conditions persist, including New York’s temporary burn ban and water-conservation urges in New York and New Jersey, while outdoor events enjoy favorable weather this weekend.
