Heat Coming: White Plains' Weekend Weather

WHITE PLAINS, NY — No chance to enjoy June this weekend: instead it's going to be hot, hot and humid. Temperatures will soar to well above-average levels on Saturday afternoon. Plus, periods of prolonged sunshine combined with increasing humidity will make it feel warmer than it really is.

"So we likely make the jump from March weather on Tuesday, to July weather by Sunday," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. "A 5 month jump in 5 days… that’s how we do it in the Hudson Valley."

Partly cloudy skies are expected tonight. Low temperatures will range from the 50s across the interior, to the upper 60s across the New York City metropolitan area.

On Saturday, an isolated shower or thunderstorm is possible once again as another weak disturbance moves through. Temperatures will be a few degrees warmer, with 80s expected across much of the region.

Sunday will be dry and quite warm, with 90s expected for portions of the area, and 80s near the coast.

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