Shocking Overnight Temps: Poughkeepsie's Weekend Weather

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY — Lows drop into the mid-50s Friday night. That'll be a shock to the system! Then we'll get a partly cloudy day or so before storms hit us again.

"The weather does improve a bit for the weekend, things should dry out," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather on Facebook.

Now, about Florence.

"The models have very little agreement on where the hurricane is going to go," Potter said, noting "fear-mongering" in several media outlets. It's early — almost seven days away. "The storm does need to be monitored," he said.
