Hudson Valley Weekend Snow Estimates: Here's How Much To Expect

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Widespread snow is expected to impact the Hudson Valley region this weekend, with forecasters predicting between one and two inches.

The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for southeast New York for Saturday night into Sunday morning.

“The first accumulating snow of the season is expected,” the outlook advises. “A few inches of snow would result in hazardous travel conditions.”

With this system, about an inch will fall in northern areas of the Hudson Valley. About two inches of snow is anticipated in counties closer to New York City, according to the National Weather Service.

Meteorologists predict Saturday will be dry and cloudy, with snow starting overnight around midnight and continuing throughout Sunday morning.

Christina Speciale, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service based in Albany, said the snow will taper off around lunchtime on Sunday.

“Overall, it is a quick-moving system and a minor snow event, with one to two inches of snow,” Speciale said.

Saturday is expected to be the warmer day of the weekend, with highs reaching up to about 37 or 38 degrees. Sunday’s high will be much colder, around 29 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
