HV Weather: Labor Day Weekend Forecast Changes For The Worse

Another day, another Heat Advisory in effect for the Hudson Valley on Wednesday. Not surprisingly, there may be scattered thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday.

The good news is that the heatwave will gradually end Thursday. Once the cold front moves through, temperatures will be cooler, although still above normal in the mid to upper 80s. (Sign up for Patch alerts to get weather updates straight to your inbox.)

Unfortunately, the weather forecast for the upcoming Labor Day holiday has taken a turn for the worse.

"The weekend is looking rather unsettled for the moment," said Alex Marra and Bill Potter at Hudson Valley Weather. "A stationary front is likely to stall out over the region Friday and into Saturday, bringing with it… the potential for clouds, cooler conditions, and maybe a shower or two."

It doesn't look like a washout either day but if you're having outdoor plans this holiday weekend, you will need to check the sky as storms could roll through. We hope the forecast will improve between now and then.

Here are the latest updates on today's heat from the National Weather Service

• Heat Advisory until August 29, 09:00 PM EDT for Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Westchester
• Air Quality Alert
• Heat Advisory in effect from August 29, 11:00 AM EDT until August 29, 08:00 PM EDT for Dutchess, Ulster

Heat index values are expected again to reach 100 to 104 degrees. Plus, another night of well above normal temperatures is expected.
