Nor’easter To Impact Hudson Valley: Details Released

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — A late spring nor’easter will bring rain and colder temperatures this week, according to the National Weather Service.

Rain will develop in the Hudson Valley region on Wednesday afternoon and linger into Thursday night, according to Joe Villani, a National Weather Service meteorologist based in Albany.

“There will be widespread rain, about an inch to an inch and a quarter,” Villani said. “Expect a soaking rainfall and it will feel gloomy for the next few days. It is going to be pretty chilly, with temperatures well below normal.”

Typically, the region sees nor’easter storms like this one in winter and earlier in spring, according to Villani.

The temperatures will be very cool for this time of year, with the highs reaching only into the 50s through Friday, he said.

Scattered showers are expected Friday and Saturday.

On Sunday, the region is expected to see temperatures reaching back up toward 70 degrees. Memorial Day will finally bring much nicer weather, according to the National Weather Service.

“Memorial Day is looking like the best day of the holiday weekend, with highs in the low 70s and sunshine,” Villani said. “Hope is on the horizon.”
