When Will The Rain Stop: Poughkeepsie's Weekend Weather

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY — The leading edge of the cold front pushing into the region is full of storms. Here's what Hudson Valley Weather had to say about it: "Rain. Rain. More Rain."

Plus, gusty winds. The National Weather Service issued a hazardous outlook and wind advisory for possible tree damage and power outages.

Also, by the time it's over on Saturday, snow showers may lightly whiten the mountains of southern New York, said Kristina Pydynowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist.

Before then we're looking at soaking rain from Friday afternoon into Saturday morning. And look at how temperatures drop.
