Tropical Storm Erin: Hudson Valley To Feel Impacts

The remnants of Tropical cyclone Erin may affect the Hudson Valley on Wednesday. The National Weather Service says that Erin, now off the North Carolina coast, will keep offshore as it drifts north because a weakening cold front is approaching from the west.

"However, rain from the tropical storm could be drawn northward and into the non-tropical storm across part of New England," according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski.

Showers and thunderstorms will end across western Pennsylvania and New York early on Wednesday then track eastward toward the Interstate-95 corridor through the afternoon and evening.

Looking out toward the long Labor Day weekend, the weather is forecast to be cooler and drier for the Northeast, even as eyes will be on tropical storm Dorian moving northwestward toward Florida.

Here's the forecast for the Hudson Valley from the NWS:

• Today-A chance of showers before noon, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 77. East wind 3 to 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%.
