Goodbye Warmth: Weekend Weather for White Plains

WHITE PLAINS, NY — The cold front this weekend will be a mixed blessing for runners in the New York City Marathon. It is also an early warning of early winter, meteorologists warn.

"The sun returns on Friday but the warmth will be gone, highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s will be the theme," said Alex Marra of Hudson Valley Weather. "...the signals continue to point towards a major change in our pattern; one that may send us into the early grips of winter weather."

The 46th annual marathon has more than 50,000 runners signed up. They'll get a chilly, dry day Sunday, but there will be a breeze from the northwest that could affect many, according to AccuWeather.

Here's the weekend forecast from the National Weather Service for southern Westchester County:

• Today: Sunny, with a high near 60. North wind 10 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.
• Tonight: Clear, with a low around 36. Northwest wind 6 to 9 mph.
• Saturday: Patchy frost before 9am. Otherwise, sunny, with a high near 54. West wind 5 to 7 mph.
• Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 44. West wind 6 to 8 mph.
• Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 54. North wind 7 to 11 mph.
