Long Weekend Weather: Rain on July 4

Friday, July 3 and Sunday, July 5 both look to be amazing weather days for Westchester County.

Throughout the county it will be mostly sunny on Friday with temps in the mid-70s, according to the latest National Weather Service forecast.

Sunday, July 5, also looks beautiful with sunny skies and temps in the low to mid 80s throughout the region.

Now for the actual holiday, July 4. The low pressure system that looked on Thursday as if it were going to pass to the south of us will hit us instead.

“This would translate into a rather cool (if not chilly) Saturday in the Hudson Valley… with a good chance of rain starting in the early morning, and that threat should extend into the mid afternoon,” said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. “It still appears the Fireworks will be “Green lighted” for Saturday night, as the rain should exit by sunset… giving us drying conditions and clearing skies for Fireworks around 9pm. But the change to Saturday’s forecast is a substantial one… and with it being a holiday, A LOT of plans will be impacted.”
