Hot Chocolate Weather: the Weekend in White Plains

WHITE PLAINS, NY — The weather will be more settled this weekend, but chilly, as we rush into December.

"This air is by no means arctic… but cool enough to generate some scattered flurries in sprinkles in the Catskills," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. "We could see a sprinkle or flurry in the HV, but more likely on Saturday than Friday...by Sunday, we could see highs in the low 40s."

So dress warmly if you're putting up lights, picking out a tree, caroling or enjoying a walk on one of the Hudson Valley's many trails.

And be on notice! Much colder air will push southward into the United States from western Canada during the first full week of December, AccuWeather meteorologists said.

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

• Today: Partly sunny, with a high near 48. West wind 11 to 13 mph.
• Tonight: Partly cloudy, with a low around 35. West wind 11 to 13 mph.
• Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 46. Northwest wind 11 to 16 mph.
• Saturday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 31. Wind chill values between 25 and 30. Northwest wind 8 to 14 mph.
• Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 43. Northwest wind 8 to 11 mph.
