If you haven't broken out the shorts and flip-flops yet, you will likely be doing so today in the Hudson Valley! Temps climbed above average yesterday and will continue to do so for the next several days. As we deal with the first true taste of Summer-like warmth, humidity will also be climbing. Thankfully, it won't get to high levels, and we are not talking about a heat wave, but temps will certainly feel warm enough to get the A/Cs going and the Summer attire to come out.
Temperatures may challenge daytime high records over the next several days. Here are the current records in White Plains, where weather data records are kept for the Hudson Valley
WHITE PLAINS
Sunday - 91 (1974) - we hit 87
Monday - 87 (2017) - forecast high: 87
Tuesday - 95 (1962) - forecast high: 93
Wednesday - 95 (1996) - forecast high: 89
High pressure is pushing warmth and moisture up this way from the South. We'll see this trend continue until Wednesday when a cold front approaches the region. There is a chance for the front to fire off several downpours and gusty thunderstorms. Some of the storms could turn strong to severe across the region. After the front passes, temperatures will cool down towards seasonal levels for Thursday and Friday.
Unfortunately, the holiday weekend ahead does not look to be the greatest. Memorial Day is a week from now and the days before it may have you breaking out the rain gear along with the BBQ equipment. Rain chances are increasing for both Saturday and Sunday while the temperatures remain cool. Monday has a slightly lower rain chance but temps won't warm up that much at all.
