Heat, Followed By Rain: Yorktown's Work Week Weather

SOMERS, NY — Don’t get too used to the heat and humidity we will be experiencing Tuesday. Temps will cool down a bit as we get further into this shortened work week.

The guys at Hudson Valley Weather said humidity levels will rise on Tuesday making the mid- and upper 80s feel even hotter.

And the heat and humidity will add a little instability to the atmosphere making it possible for a pop-up afternoon thunderstorm in parts of the region.

“Then as we push into Thursday and Friday, the instability rises once again, and scattered showers are possible,” Hudson Valley Weather said, “possibly even a rumble of thunder.”

Here is the work-week weather from the National Weather Service for northern Westchester:
