The weather service issued a Freeze Warning Thursday, but is only calling for a “watch” tonight.
“If you thought Thursday was bad… close your eyes, because Friday isn’t looking much better,” writes Bill Potter of HudsonValleyWeather.com. “Friday night is another night that could see the threat of frost and freeze. Winds should die down, and that should allow temps to fall near or below freezing.”
