Dorian Could Bring Rain, Wind To The Hudson Valley

The National Weather Service issued hazardous weather outlooks for much of the Hudson Valley for Sept. 4. The NWS has also issued a forecast about Hurricane Dorian's coming passage past the region.

Forecasters warned Tuesday night that Hurricane Dorian is now an imminent threat to most of the Southeast coast. The Hudson Valley region will get its glimpse of what's left of Dorian Friday and Friday night.

There will be another chance of rain, as Dorian passes well southeast of the region. Winds are expected to increase and become gusty, especially over Eastern Long Island in the range of 35 to 45 mph. This will likely set up some rough ocean surf as well.

Here's the forecast for the rest of the work week:

Wednesday - Patchy fog this morning. Partly sunny this morning, then mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. Highs around 80. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. Chance of rain 50 percent.

Tonight - Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the evening, then partly cloudy with a slight chance of showers after midnight. Lows in the upper 50s. Northwest winds around 5 mph. Chance of rain 40 percent.

Thursday - Mostly sunny. Less humid with highs in the lower 70s. North winds 5 to 10 mph.

Thursday Night - Partly cloudy in the evening, then becoming mostly cloudy. Lows in the lower 50s. Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph.

Friday - Mostly cloudy. A slight chance of rain in the morning, then a chance of rain in the afternoon. Highs in the lower 70s. Northeast winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph. Chance of rain 30 percent.
