Hazardous Weather Outlook Issued for Sleepy Hollow

Friday’s still a couple of days away, but that hasn’t stopped the National Weather Service from issuing a “Hazardous Weather Outlook” for a lot of the lower Hudson Valley already.

In the “Hazardous Weather Outlook” statement, the National Weather Service says Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester can expect “showers and thunderstorms ahead of a cold front and wave of low pressure may produce heavy rain capable of flooding and strong wind gusts.”

There is also a chance of storms each day this weekend, too. But before we get to the weekend, we’re still dealing with a heatwave on Wednesday and Thursday as temperatures will be around 90 degrees both days with sunny skies.
