Sun Returns: Work Week Forecast for White Plains

After a week of hiding, the sun returned Sunday afternoon. And the good news is it will remain for awhile before it goes back to hiding for part of the weekend.

The work week forecast is better across the board. Last week we were stuck in the 50s for the most part and dealing with showers all week. This week: plenty of sun and the temps will rise above 70 degrees.

"We received some much needed rainfall. But finally, we have kicked that weather pattern, and sunshine has returned to the Hudson Valley," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.
