We’re trading the sunshine for raindrops to wrap up our Wednesday. It was a decent start, but temperatures topped out in the low 60s just a bit chillier than we’d like for this time of year. If you’re heading out late tonight, definitely grab the umbrella! The heaviest rain is moving in overnight, so watch out for some deep puddles and ponding on the roads if you’re driving.
That rain is going to hang around for the Thursday morning commute, but it should start to taper off shortly after. By the afternoon, things will dry out, though it’ll stay breezy and cool as high pressure moves back in.
Expect those winds to stick around into Friday alongside a mix of sun and clouds. Unfortunately, we’re stuck in a bit of a "cool" rut. Temperatures are staying below average through the first weekend of May. We dodged a bullet for Saturday, though—the next rain system looks like it’ll stay well to our south, leaving the Hudson Valley mostly cloudy but dry. Just keep the light jacket handy, as we’ll be about 10 degrees cooler than normal.
The good news? Next week is finally looking up! Temperatures are on the rise and will finally start feeling like true Spring, though we’ll have to dodge a few more rain chances along the way.
