NWS Cancels Monday Winter Weather Advisory For the Hudson Valley

UPDATE — The National Weather Service cancelled its Monday morning Winter Weather Advisory for Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties.

Freezing rain is no longer expected as warmer air moves into the region. Snow will predominate with a brief period of sleet possible at the onset of precipitation. Snow accumulations are expected to be a tenth or two of an inch.

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties for 10 p.m. Sunday through 7 a.m. Monday. Precipitation in the form of a wintry mix could create trouble, particularly slick roads for commuters Monday morning.

"Just the tiniest bit of ice can cause VERY hazardous conditions," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. "Hopefully whatever falls, does so in the form of light snow showers, and not freezing drizzle. Be advised, that the Monday morning commute could be especially tricky south of I-84."

• WHAT...Light freezing rain expected, including during the morning commute on Monday. Total accumulations of a trace to a hundredth of an inch are expected.
• WHERE...Portions of northeast New Jersey, southern Connecticut and southeast New York.
• WHEN...From 10 PM this evening to 7 AM EST Monday.
• ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The precipitation will likely start as snow tonight before transitioning to sleet and freezing rain late tonight and early Monday morning. A few tenths of an inch of snow and sleet are possible, especially from Connecticut to the Lower Hudson Valley.

A Winter Weather Advisory for blowing snow means that visibilities will be limited due to strong winds blowing snow around. Use caution when traveling, especially in open areas.
