Temps On The Rise: Poughkeepsie's Weekend Forecast

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY — Changes are on the way weather-wise for this Father’s Day weekend. Morning clouds Friday will give way to partly sunny comfortable conditions as the day goes on.

It warms up Saturday to the low to mid-80s, but then there’s Sunday.

“Sunday will bring us a mix of sunshine and clouds, but increased levels of heat,” Hudson Valley Weather said. “Temps on Sunday should climb into the mid- and upper 80s across the Hudson Valley. In addition, increasing dew points will be felt from west to east … so as the afternoon progresses, the more uncomfortable it will feel.”

Hang on for Monday, however, because the heat and humidity will certainly make themselves known. The forecast calls for temperatures in the mid-90s, but with the humidity, it will seem warmer.

Here is the forecast from the National Weather Service for the weekend for the mid-Hudson Valley:

• Friday: Partly sunny, with a high near 74. North wind around 10 mph.
• Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 54. North wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening.
• Saturday: Sunny, with a high near 85. Calm wind becoming northwest around 6 mph in the afternoon.
• Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 60. Light west wind.
• Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 88. Calm wind becoming southwest around 6 mph in the afternoon.
• Sunday Night: A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 71. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
