Keep an Eye on the Sky: Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow's Weekend Weather

The clouds have arrived.

And they will be creeping their way across the Hudson Valley in time for a traditionally busy weekend.

There are graduation parties and dance recitals, spring sports tournaments and plays. Patch calendars will show a plethora of scheduled activities. Campers have already reserved sites; hikers are hitting the trails. Several Relay for Life events are on tap for the weekend.

But we’re going to have to pay attention to the sky. The keyword here is “chance” because we could get a little wet at times.
