April's Last Gasp: Pelham Manor's Weekend Weather

PELHAM MANOR, NY — Chilly and rainy, Friday kicks off an unsettled weekend in the Hudson Valley. Temperatures will be below average due to the clouds and rain, the National Weather Service said.

The leading edge of the storm system could trigger locally gusty thunderstorms on Saturday, said Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist.

But Sunday should help us start drying out.

"Hang in there… the true spring weather is coming. But for now… it’s April showers and chilly breezes," said Alex Marra and Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.
