FORECAST
Clouds will increase tonight, with a chance of showers developing overnight as a developing nor’easter takes shape.
The Hudson Valley is in for a prolong period of rain and wind, with some wet snowflakes trying to mix in at times. The exception will be for Western Ulster County. Elevations at and above 1500 feet can see a very wet 2-4" of snow accumulation. A Winter Weather Advisory goes up Thursday at 7 p.m. through Friday at 1 p.m.
Otherwise, areas below 1500 feet all the way down into Westchester County will see a cold, wind driven rain for most of the storm. In fact, the coldest air of the season will settle in for Friday through the weekend. This is why some brief wet snow may mix in on Friday, especially elevations in Orange and Putnam counties. Southern Westchester County will see a cold rain but can't rule out a few wet flakes. No accumulation is expected. Temperatures Thursday will be in the mid-50s, then drop to the upper 30s to near 40 degrees Thursday night and early Friday. Friday afternoon, temperatures will only be in the lower to mid-40s. It's cold.
The rain starts off light on Thursday with showers. The heaviest rainfall is expected during the afternoon and evening hours and could have an impact on the evening commute, particularly between 2 and 8 p.m. The steadier rain will continue into early Friday. A total of 1-2" of rain is expected to fall.
Gusty winds will also accompany the storm, with gusts generally between 20 and 30 mph and isolated gusts potentially approaching 35 mph. The combination of heavy rainfall and gusty winds will make Thursday a tricky day for traveling and commuting. Stay with News 12 for the latest on the storm.
