Storm To Sun: Mount Vernon's Work Week Weather

MOUNT VERNON, NY — Still a storm, what's left of Florence kicks off the Hudson Valley's work week. It will be moving at a faster pace, and it will be dumping much less rain than when it hit the Caroline coast as a hurricane.

“However, even 1-3 inches of rain can bring more flooding concerns since streams and creeks throughout the region are still running high,” said AccuWeather Meteorologist Kyle Elliott.

Tuesday there's a possibility of flash flooding in the mid-Hudson and a lower chance in the lower valley.

After that, we'll have mostly sunny skies and refreshing temperatures in the 70s. Look for Thursday to be the coolest and Friday to be the hottest, a continuation of the swing between extremes we've seen all summer.

Here's what the National Weather Service predicts for southern Westchester for the rest of the work week:

• Tuesday: Showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. High near 78. South wind 6 to 9 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.
• Tuesday Night: Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before 9pm, then a slight chance of showers between 9pm and 3am. Cloudy, then gradually becoming partly cloudy, with a low around 66. North wind 5 to 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
• Wednesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 75. North wind 8 to 10 mph.
• Wednesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 60. Northeast wind 5 to 7 mph.
• Thursday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 70.
• Thursday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 61.
• Friday: Partly sunny, with a high near 81.
• Friday Night: A 30 percent chance of showers before midnight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 66.
