After a quiet start Monday, the Hudson Valley should remain that way until around the middle of the week.

Temperatures were quite cold Monday morning, although highs slowly rose into the 60s by late afternoon with persistent winds that still gave the air some chill. But as we enter later into the week, will the threat of storms arrive?

Stormy Weekend 

The severe weather from Saturday mainly stayed to the south of the Hudson Valley, with New York City, Long Island, and New Jersey feeling the brunt of a storm system that wreaked havoc the day before in the south and Midwest. Most of the Hudson Valley saw some gusty winds and rain as the storms quickly moved through the area.
