Work Week Weather: Cool Continues

The snow showers and frost warnings last week in Putnam County were disconcerting, to say the least.

And apparently April will end on a similar note.

“As we kick off the work week… this cool trend looks to continue,” says Bill Potter on Hudson Valley Weather. “Wednesday appears to be the big winner at the moment, with lots of sun to start the day, maybe a few PM clouds… but we could break 70° in the afternoon. That sounds fantastic… but as hard as it may be to believe… that would only be a few degrees above average for this point in the season.”

Still, temperature swings are not uncommon for the spring in the Northeast, AccuWeather.com points out.
