Weather Warms Bedford and Katonah

Though the start of spring is still eight days away, temperatures hovered close to 70 degrees on Monday and locals left winter parkas at home while they enjoyed the balmy day.

The warm weather is expected to continue for much of this week, according to the National Weather Service.  Tuesday there's a chance of showers and afternoon thunderstorms but the highs could reach 70 degrees again. Wednesday stays in the upper 60s and Thursday and Friday temperatures drop into the 50s.

Warmer-than-average temperatures dominated the Northeast in December, January and February, leading to the country's fourth warmest winter on record, according to the National Weather Service.

On Monday, record-high temperature records were broken or tied Monday in Bridgeport, CT, Burlington, VT, Buffalo and Newark, NJ, NWS reports.
