Breezy, But Cool: Rockland's Weekend Weather

Here is what you can expect for the the long Easter holiday weekend in Rockland County.

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY — It's going to feel like early spring Passover and Easter instead of the end of March. But April won't be ushered in with showers.

"The weekend looks to be breezy and below normal in terms of temps, but with the exception of some rain and snow showers Saturday night it also appears dry," said Alex Marra and Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.

That's good news for egg hunting or just walking off holiday meals.
