Storm To Bring Dreary Weather For Days To The Hudson Valley

A coastal storm is moving close enough to the Hudson Valley that it will produce rain and heavy wind gusts for days. The storm will also result in temperatures only reaching into the 50s.

The National Weather Service said that along with rain, gusty northeast winds along the coast will increase from 25-35 mph today to 35-45 mph Thursday into Thursday night. The greatest impacts from both winds and rain are expected along the coast, generally from New York City on east.

However, the Sound Shore of Westchester County should be protected by Long Island, where several rounds of coastal flooding are likely, the NWS said.

Dark clouds will help daytime temperatures remain below normal, with highs Wednesday and Thursday only rising into the upper 50s to around 60. Overnight lows will range from the mid 40s north and west to around 50 at the coast, near normal for this time of year.

The stormy weather should be cleared out by Sunday.
