The entire Hudson Valley region is experiencing some level of drought. Thankfully, there is rain on the way.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

While the showers will not take us out of a drought completely, a little bit goes a long way to help those parched grounds. Outdoor plans for Saturday will have to be put on hold as batches of rain move in for the morning hours. Shower activity will back down a little around midday to the afternoon hours, possibly allowing some sunny breaks. It is during that window of time that temperatures have a chance to rise into the low 70s. That window of sun and warmth is both a good and bad thing. It is good for us to get a break from wet weather and have some sun and warmth move in, but that will increase the potential for thunderstorms to form in the late afternoon hours.

Once the storms pass by, gusty winds out of the northwest will draw down drier and cooler air for Saturday evening into the overnight hours.
Sunday will certainly be the drier of the two weekend days. That will be the day to get out and about. But there will be a concern of breezy to windy conditions. A persistent northwest wind will be around through much of the day, sometimes gusting towards 30-40 mph. This will keep the air feeling a little cooler than it has felt the past several days. Temperatures will top out near seasonal levels, into the low 60s.

Monday into Wednesday will involve a pleasant warm up! Temperatures will flirt with the 80s on Wednesday and then cool down, but back down to seasonal levels to start off the month of May.
