New Details On Storm's Potential Impact On Hudson Valley, Chance For ‘Wet Snow’

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Meteorologists are tracking the potential for a storm system to bring rain and possibly even some wet snow later this week.

The National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center said there is a chance for a low pressure system to bring mixed precipitation to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast by next weekend.

However, it cautions the forecast remains uncertain.

“A wave of low pressure is likely to develop across the Ohio Valley late Wednesday and then track eastward to off the Mid-Atlantic coast Friday while strengthening,” the National Weather Service said. “This low pressure will cause expanding precipitation, with rain and high elevation snowfall possible.”

The system will also bring cooler temperatures to the region, according to National Weather Service forecasters.

As of Monday, meteorologists said they still don’t know the exact track of the storm.

AccuWeather, meanwhile, says a potential coastal storm may bring rain and wind to the Hudson Valley region later this week, with the potential for snow to the north and west.

As of Monday, the National Weather Service predicts it will be dry through Wednesday, with daytime high temperatures around 60 degrees. It is currently predicting rain will move in Thursday afternoon, with the chance of precipitation reaching 70 to 80 percent on Thursday night.

The National Weather Service’s forecast calls for rain on Friday, with the chance for precipitation around 70 percent, followed by clearing on Saturday.

It will be warm through about mid-week, with temperatures reaching the upper 50s to around 60 degrees through Thursday.

The storm system will bring cooler weather. Temperatures will be much cooler starting Friday, when daytime highs through the weekend will reach around 50 degrees, according to National Weather Service forecasters.
