What to Expect
The remainder of the weekend will feature pleasant summer weather across the Hudson Valley, with comfortable humidity, seasonable temperatures and only a slight chance of an isolated afternoon shower or thunderstorm on Monday.
A much more active weather pattern develops Monday as a strong storm system moves into the region. Widespread rain, heavy downpours, and thunderstorms are expected Monday afternoon through Monday night. Rainfall totals of 1" to 2" will be common, with isolated higher amounts possible. Localized flooding of poor drainage areas, small streams and low-lying roads could develop where the heaviest rain falls.
Conditions improve Tuesday afternoon, with several days of dry, comfortable weather returning before another chance for showers arrives late Thursday into Friday.
