Hot And Rainy: Poughkeepsie's Work Week Weather

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY — So it's going to be up to 20 degrees above normal around the Hudson Valley this week. Plus, as has apparently become normal, it's going to be raining.

And that's before we see any possible effects from Michael, which was just upgraded Monday to hurricane status, and is heading to Florida.

"As Michael accelerates, before heading out to sea, some tropical moisture will be drawn into a non-tropical storm and bring a period of heavy rain and localized flooding to the northeastern U.S prior to the end of the week," said Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist.

Here's what the National Weather Service predicts for the mid-Hudson Valley:
