Rainy, Cool Weekend: Yorktown's Weather

SOMERS, NY — Keep the umbrella handy for the weekend. It’s likely you will need it.

There’s a chance of rain and sleet during the morning Friday in southern Westchester and a chance for spotty light freezing rain or drizzle for Orange, Putnam, Rockland and northern Westchester counties through the early afternoon Friday.

Rain is again in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday as well, but temps will stay above freezing.

“So while the weekend won’t feature a total washout… there will be multiple periods of rain to contend with,” Hudson Valley Weather said. “At least we’re not in a drought situation.”

Here is the forecast from the National Weather Service for northern Westchester:

• Today-Cloudy. A chance of rain, a slight chance of freezing rain and sleet late this morning, then rain with a chance of freezing rain this afternoon. Patchy fog this afternoon. Highs around 40. Southeast winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation 80 percent.
• Tonight-Cloudy. Rain likely, mainly in the evening. Patchy fog. Lows in the upper 30s. South winds around 5 mph, becoming west after midnight. Chance of rain 60 percent.
