WEATHER ALERT: More Snow Forecast for Harrison on Thursday

Local meteorologists predict we may be shoveling by Friday morning.

Not again!

There is another chance for accumulating snow in the near future as a winter storm could dump up to six inches of snow on the Hudson Valley on Thursday, but the confidence in that prediction currently is low, according to local meteorologists.

Here’s what we currently know about the latest threat.

“Let’s start with the certain, there is some impressively cold air headed our way,” say the meteorologists at Hudson Valley Weather. “Now let’s talk about the snow potential that exists, this is where things become a lot more uncertain. We have fairly high confidence that a clipper system will spread some light snow into our region between Wednesday night into Thursday.”

“There is also the potential for the storm to strengthen as it moves near the Atlantic Ocean. In this scenario, a swath of moderate to heavy snow could develop in part of the coastal Northeast,” writes Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist. “During the day Thursday, spotty snow is likely to impact Philadelphia; New York City; Albany, New York; and Hartford, Connecticut. It is from late Thursday into Friday morning when the storm could strengthen quickly enough to bring steadier and perhaps heavier snow from part of New Jersey and eastern New York state to Massachusetts and coastal Maine.”

And after the latest snow chance, it’s going to get cold, really cold—so cold that de-icing compounds won’t work. And another round of snow is possible this weekend.

Just a reminder, 38 days from now until spring.
