Snow Estimates Increase: Hudson Valley's Weather

The most recent advisories fro the National Weather Service have increased the amount of possible snow for the Hudson Valley. Earlier Sunday, the NWS said that Orange and Putnam counties could see 3 to 5 inches of snow. Now that same estimate applies to Putnam and Westchester counties.

• Orange-Putnam-Rockland-Westchester Winter Weather Advisory: 2 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, 3-5 inches possible
• Dutchess-Ulster Hazardous Weather Outlook, 2-4 inches possible

Hudson Valley Weather said areas south of I-84 could see the higher accumulation.

"Snow develops after midnight tonight, and a snowy Monday AM commute is likely... before the snow tapers off before noon," Hudson Valley Weather said on Facebook.

"While accumulating snow is typically hard to come by in the springtime as temperatures inch upwards, any snow falling overnight will have an easier time sticking to roads and sidewalks," AccuWeather Meteorologist Faith Eherts says.

Temperatures will approach 50 degrees in the Hudson Valley during the afternoon on Easter Sunday, but don't skimp on a coat if you will be out late. The temperature will dip to the low 30s by midnight, setting the stage for snow to arrive a few hours later.

"It appears most likely that most, if not all, precipitation should be done by mid-day Monday, if not sooner," the NWS says.
