Hazardous Weather Outlook for Mid Hudson Valley

MID HUDSON VALLEY, NY — The big new news this morning is that it now looks increasingly likely that parts of the Hudson Valley could receive some “plowable snow” this week. Plus, we’re dealing with an ice and rain storm in part of the region on Tuesday and early Wednesday (though just plain rain at the coast).

"Our attention turns to Tuesday AM, a low pressure system cutting up into the Great Lakes," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. "Just like they have so many times this winter, our region will be on the warm side of the storm."

That means that the early Tuesday morning commute could be affected in the northern part of the region. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Greene, Columbia, Delaware, Sullivan, Ulster and Dutchess and a freezing rain advisory for Orange County.

But it'll turn to plain rain for everyone.

Then there's Thursday, when a low-pressure system might bring up to six inches of snow, the National Weather Service says in its Hazardous Weather Outlook for Putnam, Rockland and Westchester.

But the forecast is very volatile and meteorologists are keeping a close eye on the weather pattern.

"Some guidance brings this wave far enough north to spread a plowable snowfall into our region, others keep the wave further south with little or no impact," Potter said.

Here's the National Weather Service's work-week forecast for Western Dutchess:
