White Plains' Work Week Weather: Some Rain, Some Heat

WHITE PLAINS, NY — After a record-breaking day on Sunday — were you one of those people we saw sitting outside with snow melting around them? — temps this week will not only stay above average but will soar.

Poughkeepsie tied a record high of 61 on Sunday, according to Hudson Valley Weather. The average high for this time of year is 41 degrees.

We'll only see that at night this week, as the next five days will feel more and more like spring. A warm front will bring some rain on Tuesday and then it will get positively hot: widespread highs in the mid- to upper 60s and another chance to break another high temp record (Poughkeepsie hit 69 degrees in 1997).

"So try to enjoy the warmth, because you will get another shot at snow this winter," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. "The first three weeks of March look very active."
