Weekend Weather for Christmas, Chanukah in Nanuet

NANUET, NY — The 3-day holiday weekend is looking pretty good according to forecasts. Even the possibility of precipitation on Saturday isn't too threatening for Rockland County.

“Last minute holiday travelers hitting the road on the morning of Christmas Eve could find some slick roads in the interior of New York state and northeast Pennsylvania,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dan Pydynowski said.

And the Catskills could see an inch or so of snow.
