Snow, Ice, Rain Predicted To Fall In Hudson Valley: NWS

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Winter weather advisories are in effect for portions of the Hudson Valley today.

Wintry weather is expected to ramp up around mid-day today and end early Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.

Mixed precipitation is expected, with total snow and sleet accumulations of up to two inches and ice accumulations up to one tenth of an inch, the National Weather Service reports.

As for timing, it anticipates light snow will overspread the region this afternoon, before it mixes with sleet and freezing rain later this afternoon and into this evening. The precipitation is expected to taper off overnight, according to the advisory.

The National Weather Service’s Albany office advises that “low pressure system moving along a frontal boundary south of the region will bring snow and a wintry mix to portions of eastern NY and western New England mainly this afternoon into early tonight.”

It predicts snowfall amounts of between one and two inches, with a light glaze possible.

The National Weather Service’s New York office on Tuesday indicated that winter weather advisories have been expanded to portions of the lower Hudson Valley through 10 p.m. tonight.

“These advisories are for a light glaze of ice and snow accumulations of less than an inch,” the National Weather Service said. “Take precautions if traveling today.”

For southernmost portions of the Hudson Valley, the forecast is for rain, possibly mixed with snow, becoming all rain by mid-afternoon. The rain is expected to continue throughout the evening, then taper off after midnight, according to the National Weather Service.

Looking ahead, warmer weather is in the forecast, with high temperatures in the mid to upper 40s for Wednesday through Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, it will be even warmer, with highs around 60 expected, forecasters said.
