Storms Could Bring Damaging Winds to Parts of the Hudson Valley

The Hudson Valley is expected to see warmer temperatures Wednesday before a cold front moves through by afternoon, The approaching front will bring strong, gusty winds that could lead to damage to trees and power lines. Once the front has passed, the area should see colder temps for the next few days, with the possibility of snow showers.

The approaching storms are from the same system that spawned numerous damaging tornadoes across parts of the south Tuesday night and Wednesday. However, the lack of warm and humid air in the Northeast, plus other determining factors, will spare the Hudson Valley the brunt of the storm.

It will still get quite windy though.
