NEW YORK – Despite sunny skies, Thursday will feel significantly cooler in the tri-state area than the past few days, with highs this afternoon in the 50s and low 60s.

Our first frost warning of the season is in effect Thursday night for the interior, where overnight low temperatures could drop near or below freezing. Although it will be cold, clear skies will provide the best conditions for viewing the Northern Lights, which may be visible in our northern counties on Thursday night and Friday morning.

Temperatures will begin to recover and Saturday afternoon we should enjoy much warmer temperatures, above 70 degrees. Enjoy the warm temperatures as a cold front approaches on Sunday which will not only bring more clouds to the area, but also a chance for some showers overnight, which we will need with the drought extending a- into the Hudson Valley due to lack of water. rain a few weeks ago.

This front will also open the door to much colder air with afternoon highs dropping into the 50s for the start of the work week and even possible snowfall in parts of the Hudson Valley by Tuesday.
