Back-To-Back Winter Storms: Snow, Ice Expected For Hudson Valley

HUDSON VALLEY — A quick moving winter storm is forecast to bring snow and a wintry mix to the region Tuesday night, as a second winter storm is headed our way, expected to arrive on Wednesday night.

The National Weather Service has issued Hazardous Weather Outlooks in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Dutchess, Ulster and Orange counties.

The first round of snow is expected to start falling tonight after 9 p.m. Around an inch of snow is forecast overnight, with 2 inches possible in some areas. This will likely result in untreated roads being snow-covered and hazardous tonight into the Wednesday morning commute, according to the NWS.

Areas to the north could see more sleet and freezing rain, but less snow.

There is expected to be a brief respite during the daylight hours on Wednesday, but a second storm system is expected to arrive Wednesday night into early Thursday morning, which may bring a inch or so of snow and sleet, along with patchy freezing rain.

The National Weather Service says the second wintry blast may result in untreated roads being hazardous late Wednesday night and into the Thursday morning commute for most of the Hudson Valley.
