Wet, Warm To Possible Wintry Mix: Nanuet's Weekend Weather

NANUET, NY — Fog, heavy rain, rapid thaw, flood watches — and that’s just Friday for the Hudson Valley. The March-like temperatures with highs close to 60 in parts of the region will be short lived. Saturday’s high will likely end up in the mid-30s, and that means the continued precipitation could be a wintry mix in the more northern parts of the lower- and mid-Hudson Valley.

“Following a surge of warmth with rain, colder air will rapidly invade the region, while the storm is still in progress,” said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski.

“In a matter of a few hours, temperatures will plunge from balmly levels in the 60s and 50s F to the 30s and 20s,” he said.
