HVFORECAST

All the best of luck on the big stage. Some amazing voices there, Matt putting you in the, the feel of the season, right? And if that doesn't do it, maybe a flurry in spots tomorrow or Thursday can do it as well. The rest of today staying dry, it's mostly cloudy outside right now. A hyperlocal planet for White Plains going from the low forties this afternoon to early this evening, gradually through the thirties. Let's head to the map right now and talk about where we go from here really as we go into tonight and over the next couple of days. So tonight we'll stay kind of mostly cloudy all throughout the Hudson Valley. Temperatures will bottom out into early tomorrow morning in the upper twenties and low thirties. It'll be a night. You want the winter coat, the gloves and the hat, all of that. Now, tomorrow there can be a spotty flurry at any point in the morning into the early afternoon. Temperatures again, close to around 40 degrees all throughout the Hudson Valley. Any little snowflake activity you see will not be anything significant, but you could just see a few of those in the sky. 42 was where the high has been today but dressed warmly. It's chilly this afternoon, of course, turning colder later on tonight with lows after midnight in the upper twenties to low thirties. Here's the extended 10 day tomorrow and Thursday still chilly right around 40 degrees each day could have a flurry in spots but a lot of dry time as well. Friday. Sunning clouds a bit warmer. Upper forties, fifties over the weekend, Saturday is still the pick of the week before some rain and breezy conditions move in on Sunday next week. Looking dry Monday through Thursday with highs in the forties.
