Near Record High Temps Expected Across New York State This Weekend

As we enter the final weekend of October, things look to be warming up across New York. Not only does it appear that the rain that has drenched the area for seven consecutive Saturday will finally stay away, but near record high temperatures are forecasted.

If you're out Saturday celebrating Halloween, it may feel more like late summer rather than the end of October.

Normal and Record Highs For Late October 

According to Extreme Weather, the normal high temperature for October 27 in Poughkeepsie is 58.9 degrees. The record for this date was 83 F, set back in 1963. Could we come close to breaking the record Saturday?
