Heavy Rains Expected for the Hudson Valley on Tuesday

A flash flood watch is in effect for the Hudson Valley, as the tropical remnants of Florence will be widespread rainfall to our area.  The rain will be heavy at times, with some embedded thunderstorms.  Of course, Florence dumped tons of rain on the Carolina’s and caused major flooding.  There is the potential to see one to two inches from this weather event.

Rain for the most of the day on Tuesday, it will still be muggy.  Temps gets up near 80. Good news, high pressure will build in late Tuesday into Wednesday.  This will usher in cooler and drier air for the rest of the week.
