Slight Warmup, Rain: Chappaqua's Weekend Weather

MOUNT KISCO, NY — After a couple of days of record-breaking temperatures, the Hudson Valley will be warming up — slightly — for the weekend. The high Saturday for the lower Hudson Valley is forecast to be in the mid- to upper 40s, with the more northern locations in the low 40s.

And we are in for some precipitation as well, falling in the form of rain since temperatures are forecast to be above freezing even at night.

About the recent cold snap, though, Alex Marra and Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather said that records were broken, making this the second coldest November air mass on record in the Hudson Valley.

In Poughkeepsie, the record low of 6 degrees Friday morning broke a 1989 record of 9 degrees.

Thanksgiving Day's "high" temperature of 27 tied that of Thanksgiving Day in 1989.
