Although fall is still months away, it will be here before we know it. To help you get ready for the upcoming season, the Old Farmer's Almanac has just released its predictions for the fall weather forecast. It appears that even more warm and humid days are headed our way across all regions of the U.S.

Beginning in September and lasting through October, most of the U.S. will experience warm, dry weather, except for the cool, dry conditions predicted for the northeast and midwest regions. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the cooler temperatures and below-average rainfall could result in beautiful foliage in the Northeast, along with above-normal hurricane activity and a higher number of named storms.
