Winter Weather Advisory for Orange, northeast Ulster, Dutchess, Putnam and Rockland counties.
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
For Tuesday morning, expect snow and a mix of snow and rain for most of the lower Hudson Valley. Southern Westchester will likely see more rain to begin the morning hours. As we approach the late morning, there will be a transition for most counties from snow to rain. Most of the snow accumulations will occur in the morning hours, as the transition to rain begins near noon and will clear out any accumulated snowfall for most areas.
The highest snow totals and consistent snow will likely be for only northwest Ulster County, which is under a winter storm warning. Even though 1-3 inches is possible for counties north of Westchester and Rockland counties, this will occur mainly in the morning, then the rest of the day expect a wintry mix to rain to take over. Northwest Ulster County could see a range of 6-9 inches of total snowfall.
A few areas in southern Dutchess, Ulster, and Northern Orange County have a chance to see 3-6 inches. This will be a very sharp and isolated line of snow accumulation as the milder temperatures are expected to wrap around into these areas. This system will be quite progressive in the sense that it will not linger too much into the nightly hours. The system could clear out by 7-8 p.m.
OVERNIGHT: Mostly cloudy, snow showers and wintry mix developing by daybreak. Lows in the 20s.
TUESDAY: Snow, wintry mix, and cold rain. Be prepared for treacherous roads and travel throughout the day. Westchester County is expected to mainly see rain throughout the day, which could accumulate up to an inch of rainfall by the end of the event. Any snow and rain will end by early Tuesday night. Dry and colder air will move in. Highs in the 30s. Lows in the 20s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny, cold and blustery. Wind gusts will be near 25 mph. Feels-like temperatures will be in the 20s. Highs in the 30s. Lows in the 20s.
THURSDAY: Sunshine and clouds mixing in the skies, windy, and cold. Highs in the 30s. Lows in the teens.
