Northern Westchester Weather: A Classic April Weekend

NORTHERN WESTCHESTER, NY — Unsettled continues to be the watchword as April winds down. Warm — even hot weather will start the weekend out in northern Westchester. Then Sunday could bring in some cool, wet weather before May kicks temps up again.

On Friday and Saturday, we should get a chance to open our windows, as the chances for rain diminish. Plus, it should be good sleeping weather, with lows in the 5os. Short sleeves on Saturday in particular, as temps could hit 80 degrees.

Then the forecast becomes unsettled again.

"Sunday is a tricky day… with clouds possibly moving in from the north," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.
