Diminishing Chances of Rain: Weekend Weather for Yorktown and Somers

SOMERS, NY — Rain's in the forecast, but maybe not as much as midweek forecasts predicted.

"For now, it’s looking not so much like a washout this weekend… and more of an unsettled, damp and fall like weekend," says Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.

Persistent rainfall may present flash-flooding possibilities elsewhere in the Mid-Atlantic states.

"Enough rain may fall on parts of New York state and southern New England to get small streams flowing and put a small amount of water back into ponds, lakes and reservoirs. However, the storm will not drop enough rain to completely alleviate extreme drought," said Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist.
