The National Weather Service already is looking toward the future and has issued a “Hazardous Weather Outlook” for Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties for a storm that is in reality five days away.

The weather service’s statement is brief except to say, “THERE IS A CHANCE OF A WINTER STORM LATE FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.”

Here are some details, including the distinct possibility that it won’t materialize.

“The storm is projected to rapidly deepen over the southeast, and once it reaches the coast… rapidly intensify,” says Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. “It should spread a large swath of moderate to heavy snow across part of the mid-atlantic and northeast. The exact track and speed of the storm will determine who sees the heaviest snow. Some of the solutions put the Hudson Valley in the bulls eye, and some keep the worst weather to our south. Clearly, at 5+ days away, we will be watching this closely.”

NBC Connecticut Meteorologist Ryan Hanrahan wrote on his blog, while stressing there is no guarantee that we’ll get hit with a major storm: “This is by far the biggest chance for significant snow we’ve had all season (though that’s not exactly saying much).”
