Warm and Rainy Weekend Weather In Poughkeepsie

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY — A rainy weekend in the Hudson Valley will be prefaced by a warm Friday afternoon. Then showers will start.

"Another half inch to an inch of rain seems likely, so 2019 will pick up right where 2018 left off," said Alex Marra and Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.

That could cause low-lying and poor drainage flooding.

And just north of the Hudson Valley, there could be some wintry mix in that precipitation.

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

• Saturday: Rain, mainly before 5pm. High near 39. North wind 3 to 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
• Saturday Night: A chance of rain before 7pm. Partly cloudy, with a low around 33. North wind around 6 mph becoming light and variable. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
• Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 42. Northwest wind 6 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.
• Sunday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 18. Northwest wind 7 to 11 mph.
