Abnormal Temps To Bring More Rain: Scarsdale's Work Week

SCARSDALE, NY — The work week around the region starts out typically for February, albeit with the bonus of late-winter sunshine, which feels much stronger and lasts much longer now that we're six weeks past the solstice. And, by midweek, temps should be rising.

Temperatures could be 15-20 degrees Fahrenheit above average on Thursday and Friday.

"You’re reading that right… possibly near 60 degrees!" said Hudson Valley Weather. "We’ll have to watch and see if that holds true… but signs of spring are on the horizon."

Don't let down your guard — or put away the scraper and shovel. There's still more than a month to go, scientifically as well as groundhogly.
