Rain, Snow Kick Off Mid Hudson Valley Work Week

We'll start off the work week with a mix of rain and snow starting Monday afternoon in the mid-Hudson Valley.. We'll end it with temperatures getting up into the low 50s. It's going to depend on where you are in Dutchess, Orange or Ulster counties.

The NWS has issued one hazardous weather outlook for eastern Dutchess through 10 a.m. Tuesday:

Mixed precipitation expected. Patchy freezing drizzle is possible today. Tonight, areas of freezing rain after sunset will turn to sleet and snow after midnight. Total snow accumulations of up to one inch and ice accumulations of around one tenth of an inch.

And another for western Dutchess and eastern Ulster counties:

There is a chance for additional freezing rain, sleet and snow tonight into Tuesday morning. If confidence increases in the potential for some icing, another Winter Weather Advisory would be issued.
