Umbrellas will be coming along with you on your morning commute as rounds of showers, and a few downpours, move through the Hudson Valley today.
It is Earth Day today, and Mother Nature is bringing some needed showers to the region for the first half of the day but sunny breaks will come through for the second half. You'll be able to swap out the umbrellas for sunglasses for that afternoon ride home. You'll likely need the jacket all day today, as temperatures will be trending on the cool side with most locations seeing daytime high temps top out into the low 50s. That is nearly 10 degrees below average.
We won't have to deal with this type of weather for long, thankfully. Tomorrow is the Pick of the Week with high temps shooting up towards 70 degrees in many spots! Along with the mid-May level of warmth will be mostly sunny to a mix of sun and clouds and a decent breeze. We certainly do deserve this warm treat after dealing with winter-like temperatures earlier this week. But sadly, this warmth won't stick around for long.
A cold front will pass by late Thursday into Friday, bringing a slightly cooler temperature trend. A system will move towards the region late Friday into Saturday, bringing rain showers. The rain will likely start late in the day Friday, after sunset and fall on & off through the day on Saturday. As a result, temperatures will trend into the low 50s. Sunday though, is looking to be trending drier with highs trying to move up into the upper 50s.
