Soggy Start Leads To Sunny Work Week In Scarsdale

SCARSDALE, NY — After a soggy start to the work week, the Hudson Valley will see partly sunny skies through Friday with temperatures cooler than usual for the middle of August. The high most days will be in the lower 80s, with lows dipping into the 50s and lower 60s.

Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather said the forecast low overnight Tuesday for parts of the Hudson Valley will be 51, something he called “cool and crisp.”

The heaviest of the rain and storms should clear out of the northeast by Tuesday.

AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski said the rain will be “followed by another spell of dry and comfortable air that will hold through midweek.”

But don’t expect the drier weather to last for long, because precipitation is in the forecast for the weekend.
