Wild Weather Trends Pleasant: Poughkeepsie's Weekend

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY — Get outside this weekend in the warmer temps and sunny skies. It's not all good news, but we'll take it.

The National Weather Service says temperatures will remain around 15 degrees below average Friday, then "rebound" on Saturday and spike midweek before heading back down toward seasonal.

The balmy weather won't last, no matter what the groundhogs say. And of course, it'll be freezing at night.

That's a recipe for a smorgasbord of potholes and more.

"The sudden warmup could lead to ice jam flooding on some rivers as large chunks of ice break loose and jam the flow of water downstream," said AccuWeather Meteorologist Bill Deger.

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

• Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 3. Calm wind.
• Saturday: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 34. Wind chill values as low as -4. Southwest wind 3 to 8 mph.
• Saturday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 23. Southwest wind 5 to 7 mph becoming calm in the evening.
• Sunday: Partly sunny, with a high near 38. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph in the afternoon.
• Sunday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 28. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph after midnight.
