Storm To Sun: Poughkeepsie's Work Week Weather

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY — Still a storm, what's left of Florence kicks off the Hudson Valley's work week. It will be moving at a faster pace, and it will be dumping much less rain than when it hit the Caroline coast as a hurricane.

“However, even 1-3 inches of rain can bring more flooding concerns since streams and creeks throughout the region are still running high,” said AccuWeather Meteorologist Kyle Elliott.

Tuesday there's a possibility of flash flooding in the mid-Hudson and a lower chance in the lower valley.

After that, we'll have mostly sunny skies and refreshing temperatures in the 70s. Look for Thursday to be the coolest and Friday to be the hottest, a continuation of the swing between extremes we've seen all summer.

Here's what the National Weather Service predicts for the mid-Hudson Valley for the rest of the work week:

• Tuesday: Rain and possibly a thunderstorm before 3pm, then showers likely, mainly between 3pm and 5pm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rain. High near 79. Southwest wind 5 to 7 mph becoming north in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible.
• Tuesday Night: A chance of showers, mainly before 8pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 62. Calm wind becoming north around 5 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
• Wednesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 76. North wind 5 to 8 mph.
• Wednesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 55. Light northeast wind.
