'Sweater Weather' In Forecast Thursday, Friday Nights

When was the last time you said, “Let me grab a sweater,” before heading out for the evening? After highs Thursday ranging from 75 to 78 degrees — with noticeably low humidity — overnight lows in the Hudson Valley will dip into the mid-50s to low 60s.

So you might want to consider taking a sweater along if you go out Thursday night or when you leave for work Friday morning.

The fellows at Hudson Valley Weather said the reason is a Canadian air mass in place after the passage of the most recent cold front.

“We’ll see mostly sunny skies on Thursday and Friday … with low humidity and high temperatures falling a couple degrees short of 80,” they said. “The average high for this time of year is in the low 80s , so we should be a couple degrees below that. But with the low humidity included in the story, it’s going to feel relatively outstanding.”

Here is the forecast from the National Weather Service through the weekend for the lower Hudson Valley:

• Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 77. Northwest wind 11 to 15 mph.
• Thursday Night: Clear, with a low around 58. Northwest wind around 6 mph becoming calm in the evening.
• Friday: Sunny, with a high near 82. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph in the afternoon.
• Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 62. South wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening.
• Saturday: Sunny, with a high near 79. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph in the afternoon.
• Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 64.
• Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 82.
• Sunday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 68.
