Much like yesterday morning, the winter wardrobe will need to come back out today as temperatures trend well below average all across the Hudson Valley.
A freeze warning is in effect for the morning hours for Orange, Putnam, Rockland & Westchester counties due to the frost and freeze concerns. Temperatures got so low this morning, they started to challenge the daytime record morning lows. In fact, White Plains broke their record in the 5 a.m. hour with a temperature of 28 degrees. This beats the previous record of 29 degrees set back in 1981!
Temperatures will gradually get milder later today but those temps will still stay well below the normal high for this time of year of 62 degrees.
Later today, well after sunset, a chance for showers will move into the region. Showers will be around overnight and into Wednesday morning.

The weather will continue to improve heading into Thursday as temps will be on the rise while shower chance drop. It will be the Pick of the Week with an early May feeling in the air as temps rise into the upper 60s!
