Southern Westchester Weather: Unsettled Work Week

SOUTHERN WESTCHESTER, NY — After a week of record-breaking heat, showers look to be the theme for the next five days. Chilly conditions kick us off. Then the high temps for the rest of the week should be a seasonal 70 degrees or so.

"Cool, damp and raw conditions will be the story" for Monday, said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. "We’ll see some improvements in our weather for Tuesday, with the area likely drying out. But an upper level trough will push into the eastern US by mid week, and that will keep unsettled conditions possible for the 2nd half of the work week. So while it doesn’t look like an organized storm system will push substantial rain into our area… it will keep us unsettled."
