Cool and Breezy: New City's Weekend

NEW CITY, NY — Saturday may be Earth Day, but that doesn't mean you should start planting flowers. Temperatures will continue running below average over the weekend — and some areas could even see frost in the mornings.

"Winter has not left our area yet," said the guys from Hudson Valley Weather.

The National Weather Service says breezy and chilly conditions are expected Friday in the wake of a low pressure system through Canada. There will be a gradual moderation in temperatures through the weekend — and the wind is expected to subside.

Still, highs will run about 5 to 10 degrees below normal today, generally in the lower to mid 50s. Temps will rise to the mid to upper 50s on Saturday, but this is still around 5 degrees below normal for mid to late April.

Here's the NWS weekend forecast for Rockland County:

• Today-Mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 40s. Northwest winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.
• Tonight-Partly cloudy in the evening, then becoming mostly clear. Lows in the lower 30s. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph. Gusts up to 25 mph in the evening.
• Saturday-Sunny. Highs in the upper 50s. Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph.
• Saturday Night-Clear. Lows in the mid 30s. Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph.
• Sunday-Sunny. Highs in the upper 50s. Northwest winds around 5 mph.
