Work Week Weather: Temperature Change in Westchester

Written by BRIAN MCCREADY (Patch Staff)

If you don’t look at the calendar you could have confused today’s weather with that of a nice summer day.

The Columbus Day forecast is amazing, according to the National Weather Service. Sunny skies and temps in the mid 70s for Westchester County.

The temperature remains warm on Tuesday with readings in the low 70s but there is a 40 percent chance of showers anytime after 9 a.m.

On Wednesday, another slight chance of showers in the afternoon, but partly sunny skies with temps falling back into the mid 60s.

On Thursday, it’s a bit chillier with temperatures in the mid 60s but mostly sunny skies, and Friday the forecast calls for a chance of showers and most cloudy skies with temps in the low 60s.

As of right now, the weekend forecast calls for old-fashioned Northeast autumn weather with temps in the low to mid 50s but plenty of sunshine.

The big story this week with weather is the more than 20-degree temperature change from Monday to Sunday. And the nights will grow progressively colder as the week goes on, dipping into the 30s by Saturday night.

But at least there isn’t any snow in the forecast, at least yet!

If you’re off today, enjoy the beautiful weather.
