3-H Weather, then a Welcome Change: the Weekend in Nanuet

NANUET, NY — Hazy, hot and humid will continue to be the order of things as the weekend gets underway.

However, the chance for storms and rain is relatively low with the greatest chance occurring late Friday and early Saturday and late Saturday and early Sunday.

"Highs on Saturday are likely around 90°, and a heat index in the mid 90s," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. "Before we see a welcome change on Sunday."

Scattered showers are possible after midnight Friday — but the weather has been promising before, namely Thursday evening, and what did we get? Nada.

The possibilities of rain are greater on Saturday, when there will be a 30 percent chance of showers, including thunderstorms, in the afternoon rising to a 50 percent chance at night.

Sunday, now. Sunday brings welcome change: after the possibility of showers in the morning, we'll have cooler, drier weather, with temps in the low 80s. And decent sleeping weather, too, with temps in the 50s.
