Heavy Rain, Fog Start the Week's Weather

More typical April weather returns to Brewster this week, after a weekend where the high temps felt more like June.

Rain, heavy at times, is expected today, with gusty winds and patchy fog; plus, there’s a marginal risk of thunderstorms this afternoon. The National Weather Service issued a coastal flooding alert in southern Westchester.

“For the year so far… rainfall in 2015 is running between 2 and 3 inches below average. Monday, we’ll try and put a dent in that deficit,” said Bill Potter on Hudson Valley Weather.
