Latest Fourth of July Holiday Weekend Forecast

Written by BRIAN MCCREADY (Patch Staff)

Friday, July 3 and Sunday, July 5 both look to be amazing weather days for Westchester County.

Throughout the county it will be mostly sunny on Friday with temps in the mid-70s, according to the latest National Weather Service forecast.

Sunday, July 5, also looks beautiful with sunny skies and temps in the low to mid 80s throughout the region.

Now for the actual holiday, July 4, it looks to be pretty good weather, but there’s a 20 percent chance of showers throughout the day and evening.

“Right now, things look pretty great… and that’s thanks to the jet stream dipping to our south…,” writes Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather, speaking about the Fourth. “That will do 2 things… first, it forces any unsettled weather to our south. This serves to keep the Hudson Valley dry… and generally free of clouds. It also allows cool, dry, Canadian air to filter into the region. That means low humidity levels! So be prepared to enjoy a couple days of afternoon highs near 80°… and very comfortable humidity.”

All in all not a bad weather forecast for the holiday weekend. Enjoy the time with family and friends and be safe!
