Big Weather Changes for Brewster This Week

SOUTHEAST, NY — Monday will be so windy you won't be able to get ready for what's coming later in the week. Gusts of over 35 mph today will force everyone to hold onto their hats, umbrellas and steering wheels. And temps will only be in the 60s, compared to an average 71 degrees for May 15.

But then, the temperature will skyrocket. Instead of feeling like March, it'll feel like July.

On Saturday afternoon temps were in the upper 40s in Putnam accompanied by a soaking rain; fast-forward to Thursday and we're expected to be in the 80s to possibly near 90 degrees in parts of the Hudson Valley.

"So if you’ve been waiting for the heat… it’s coming, starting on Wednesday," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.
