New Details On Midweek Snow Storm's Impact On Hudson Valley Released

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — While forecasters initially predicted a significant snowstorm could impact the Hudson Valley this week, the latest data shows it is expected to track south of the region, with little or no impact here.

Kevin Lipton, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Albany, said Tuesday the region may experience some light snow Thursday from another system.

“Right now, it looks like the main impacts from the big storm will stay south of the Hudson Valley area,” Lipton said.

Forecasters currently believe the storm will track along the middle of the country, hitting states along the mid-Atlantic such as Virginia, before going out to sea.

As for the cold temperatures, expect that trend to continue for a few more days, according to Lipton.

Between now and Friday, temperatures in the Hudson Valley will only get up into the 20s. Friday will be slightly warmer, with highs in the upper 20s. Nighttime temperatures will be frigid, with most of the region seeing temperatures in the teens.

The weekend is expected to be warmer, with temperatures getting above freezing. By Sunday, temperatures should reach around 40 degrees, according to Lipton.
