Colder Temps Headed Toward the Weekend: Yorktown's Weather

SOMERS, NY — Sunny and chilly is how the Hudson Valley work week is starting out.

And now that we have one day of Daylight Saving Time under our belts, especially with the sun setting around 4:40 p.m., we are getting the feeling that it’s primarily all cooler weather from now on.

“In total, this week’s weather looks rather uneventful, with temperatures wavering between 5 degrees below and 5 degrees above average,” said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. “Looking beyond that, things get a bit more wintry, as shots of cold begin to take aim on the Hudson Valley."

In the Hudson Valley, the warmest day of the week will be Tuesday with, unfortunately, only one chance of much-needed precipitation occurring this week on Wednesday. By the weekend, we could be seeing high temperatures about 10 degrees cooler than today.

For Tuesday — Election Day — if you have to stand online outdoors waiting to cast your ballot, you won't need an umbrella. So there's that.
