Rain, Warmer, Then Colder: Hudson Valley Weekend Weather

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — We have another rainy day to get through before the weekend arrives, but at least it won't be 3 inches, which some parts of the region received last week. Take heart that the rain will clear out, according to the National Weather Service, for the weekend.

How's that for a good way to end 2018?

Well, there is rain in the forecast for Monday night, which is New Year's Eve, but we'll see if that forecast holds over the next few days.

Look for temps to rise over the day Friday and then fall back to the low 40s Saturday.
