Possibly Heavy Rain, Winds With Approaching Storm

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Make plans to enjoy the remainder of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, because rainy and windy conditions will start the next workweek.

The National Weather Service said sunny to partly cloudy conditions, depending on your location, are in store for Friday through Sunday with temperatures in the low- to mid-50s.

Then a low-pressure system will move into the northeast Monday into Monday night, the weather service said.

It will create "an anomalously strong upper low that will cover much of the country east of the Great Plains Monday into Tuesday," with all rain in the forecast, meteorologists said.

The storm will bring winds in the 45-to-55 mph range, Accuweather said, which are strong enough to cause tree limbs to break and electricity to go out.

"A general 1-2 inches of rain is forecast to fall, with locally higher amounts to 3 inches as the storm moves northeastward early next week," said Accuweather senior meteorologist Alex Sosnowski.

The precipitation will move out for Wednesday and Thursday, according to the long-term forecast.
