Southern Westchester Weather: A Classic April Weekend

SOUTHERN WESTCHESTER, NY — Unsettled continues to be the watchword as April winds down. Warm — even hot weather will start the weekend out in southern Westchester County. Then Sunday could bring in some cool, wet weather before May kicks temps up again.

On Friday and Saturday, we should get a chance to open our windows, as the chances for rain diminish. Plus, it should be good sleeping weather, with lows in the 5os. Short sleeves on Saturday in particular would be appropriate, as temps could hit 80 degrees.

Then the forecast becomes unsettled again.

"Sunday is a tricky day… with clouds possibly moving in from the north," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.

Here's the National Weather Service's detailed forecast for the weekend in southern Westchester:

• Today: Patchy fog before 10am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 80. West wind 5 to 9 mph.
• Tonight: A 30 percent chance of showers after 3am. Increasing clouds, with a low around 60. Southwest wind 5 to 7 mph.
• Saturday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 84. South wind 6 to 13 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 25 mph.
