MAP: AccuWeather.com

It was pretty cold this morning, given that Mother's Day, when we're supposed to be able to plant summer flowers, is past and we’re two weeks away from Memorial Day!

Monday will still feel chilly, as blustery winds persist.

"As we move through the week, conditions should slowly improve," says Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.

Then later there is a chance for some rain in the forecast but nothing too significant.
