Temperatures In New York’s Hudson Valley Expected To Approach 90F This Week

Monday morning in New York's Hudson Valley felt more like early April rather than the beginning of June. Lows across many parts of the area dipped into the 40s, with higher elevations experiencing even colder temperatures and Frost Advisories.

The cold snap follows a very rainy weekend, as Hudson Valley Weather reports that a May Nor'easter pretty much erased all signs of the long lasting drought that had afflicted the region. The recent storm brought widespread rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches around many parts of downstate New York, according to HVW.

Hudson Valley Weather says that parts of Orange and Ulster counties were hardest hit, as most areas except Rockland and Westchester counties "saw nearly a month's worth of rainfall in about 24 hours."
