Winter Weather Advisory Issued For Hudson Valley

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — It’s another weekend, so that must mean more snow and ice is on the way for the Hudson Valley.

A winter weather advisory has been issued for the region for Saturday afternoon and evening.

Brett Rathbun, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said the Hudson Valley region will see a variety of precipitation this weekend.

“It will be starting out as snow Saturday afternoon, and continuing through Saturday night, then there will be a mix of sleet and freezing rain,” Rathbun said.

Northern sections of the region will see more snow accumulation than the southern Hudson Valley, according to Rathbun.

In northern parts of the region, snow and sleet is expected to accumulate 4 to 7 inches along with some ice, according to the weather service.

For Rockland and Westchester counties, 2 to 4 inches of snow and a light glaze of ice is forecast, according to the weather service.

The Hudson Valley north of Albany could see 6 to 8 inches of snow, Rathbun said.

The snow is forecast to begin after 1 p.m. Saturday and continue until early Sunday before changing to plain rain. Ice is forecast to mix in late Saturday and early Sunday.

All precipitation is expected to taper off by Sunday evening, Rathbun said.

Once the precipitation ends late Sunday, the story shifts to freezing cold temperatures.

Daytime highs will only be in the 20s all next week. Our next chance of snow is possible Wednesday and Thursday, according to the weather service.
