Work Week Weather: Give Us a Break

Heavy rain thankfully wraps up a stretch of wierd weather, including a temperature swing of 55 degrees.

“The storm exits late [Tuesday], and we should see the rain taper off around the evening commute,” says Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. “ From that point forward, we have a few days of quiet weather. So once we get through this storm… we’ll get a well deserved break from “extreme” weather (frigid, snow, ice, heavy rain).”

Not to say that temps will stay in the mid-50s -- at least not during the work week.
