Hudson Valley Keep An Eye On Weather Radar For July 4th Week

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — The first week of July starts off with low humidity and comfortable temperatures. Then heat and humidity will be on the rise as we head toward the holiday and holiday weekend, with daily chances of afternoon and evening showers as well as fireworks across the region.

"The remainder of the week looks very summer like, with highs in the mid 80s, and increasing humidity levels by Thursday and Friday," said Alex Marra and Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.

Those summer conditions of course include thunderstorms.

Most of the storms will occur between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m., said Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist, "even a garden-variety pop-up thunderstorm can be very heavy for a short time over a localized area this time of the year. Storms of this nature can bring flash flooding, knock over trees and trigger power outages in one part of a community and completely miss another part."

It'd be a good idea to keep an eye on the radar for all your outside activities.

Here's what Hudson Valley Weather predicts for the next five days:

• Monday: Highs in the low 80s. Low humidity. Overnight temps in the 60s.
• Tuesday: Partly sunny with highs in the mid-80s. Chance of rain 50%.
• Wednesday: Sunny with a high in the mid-80s in the daytime. Mostly cloudy, warm and muggy at night.
• July 4: Partly sunny with highs in the high 80s. Spot showers or thunderstorms possible. Warm and muggy at night.
• Friday: Humid with highs in the mid to high 80s. Scattered showers and thunderstorms. Warm and muggy with temps staying over 70 degrees at night.
