Weekend Forecasts Revised: Poughkeepsie's Weather

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY — It's shaping up to be a nice weekend in the Hudson Valley. The rain and thunderstorms we worried about are now predicted to pass to our south. And that's great news for everything that's going on this weekend, from PeaceSkill Fun Day to the Clearwater Festival.

"Both days are looking very summer like, with highs around 80° or a couple degrees above," said Hudson Valley Weather. "Dew points should be low, in the low to mid 50s across the Hudson Valley. That should translate into some very comfortable conditions, despite the summer heat. So anyone with outdoor plans should be very happy with the result!"

Here's the forecast from the National Weather Service for the mid-Hudson Valley:

• Friday Afternoon: Mostly sunny, with a high near 82. Southwest wind around 5 mph.
• Friday Night: Patchy fog after 3am. Otherwise, partly cloudy, with a low around 55. Light north wind.
• Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 81. Calm wind becoming northwest around 5 mph in the afternoon.
• Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 55. Light north wind.
• Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 76. Northeast wind 5 to 7 mph.
• Sunday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 53.
