Showers to Sun Over the Work Week in Southeast

BREWSTER, NY — Look forward to mild fall weather over the next five days, with the sun peeking through more and more often as the week progresses.

Much of the region will find the clouds, drizzles and showers end by midweek. Temperatures will even reach the 70s by Friday.

"We have several days before Matthew becomes a concern for our area, and conflicting information on exactly where he will head," says Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.
