Shiver Through The Work Week in Southeast

BREWSTER, NY — Unfortunately, the warm spring days the Hudson Valley experienced last Friday and Saturday — in spite of the stiff, cool wind — are nowhere in this week's forecast.

The Hudson Valley should, however, be spared any snow from two storms headed to upstate New York this week. Plus, Wednesday and Friday are likely to be temperate.

"Those who bought annual flowers and sensitive vegetable plants in the warmth this past week may need to protect their investment," said Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist, recommending covering plants.
