Weekend Weather Forecast for Briarcliff, Pleasantville Includes Chance of Showers, Thunderstorms

We could wish that today’s forecast is what we’d end up with for Saturday.

Before we get to the weekend though, we’re looking at a picture perfect weather day on Friday with sunny skies and temps around 70 degrees.

Saturday kicks off the weekend with showers and thunderstorms possible early in the morning, and then it will be mostly warm and cloudy for the remainder of the day.

But the sun reappears on Sunday, and a lovely day is forecast with high temperatures in the upper 70s.

“Not as warm as last week… but highs this weekend should still flirt with 80°,” said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.
