Rain, Then Cooler Temps: Weekend Weather for White Plains

WHITE PLAINS, NY — Now that the big Thanksgiving feast is behind us and leftovers are in front of us, it’s time to think about what to do for the rest of the weekend.

Fortunately — though the Hudson Valley still badly needs rain — previously forecast precipitation into Saturday has been pulled back a little.

Yes, we still have to get through a few spotty showers on Black Friday thanks to a weather system over southern Canada. But then it gets better.

“As we head into the weekend, our wind will shift back around the NW, so a cooler day is expected on Saturday,” said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. “But that NW wind will also help to push the clouds and drizzle out of the region, and should give us a mix of clouds and sunshine and highs in the mid to upper 40s. Not a bad day for late November.”

That means the weather will be great for getting out and taking advantage of Small Business Saturday in your community.

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

• Today: A slight chance of drizzle or light rain after 3pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 51. West wind 3 to 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
• Tonight: A 30 percent chance of light rain, mainly before 10pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 39. Northwest wind 3 to 5 mph.
• Saturday: Partly sunny, with a high near 48. Northwest wind 6 to 11 mph.
• Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 34. Wind chill values between 25 and 30. Northwest wind around 10 mph.
• Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 46. Northwest wind 11 to 14 mph.
• Sunday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 31.
