More Storms In Poughkeepsie's Work Week Forecast

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY — The work week kicks off in the Hudson Valley with the usual: rain. Then tomorrow, a brief warm-up as yet another round of storms and gusty winds are forecast for the region.

Friday's storms brought amazing amounts of rain and high winds to the HV. The highest rainfall was in Orange County, where Monroe recorded 4.96 inches. The strongest wind was clocked at 49 mph at the Tappan Zee Light.

"Tuesday, the cold front will approach with another round of rain expected… as well as some very strong winds," said Alex Marra and Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. "Wind gusts over 30 mph are possible on Tuesday, which could result in some ‘High Wind Watches’ once again… with the potential for some down trees and power lines, causing some sporadic power outages.

The next round of gusty winds will usher colder but drier air into the Hudson Valley for Wednesday and Thursday. Then, another storm system may come through at the end of the week. (Sign up for Patch news alerts to get storm updates straight to your inbox.)
