UPDATE: Blizzard Watch for Hudson Valley

Yes, you’ve heard it before. This one could the real deal, forecasters say.

Winter Storm Juno could be an “all-out blizzard” on Monday and Tuesday, with more than a foot of snow falling in the area.

Here’s what could happen, according to Hudson Valley Weather:

• An Alberta clipper will spread light snow into the Hudson Valley midday Monday in advance of the actual nor’easter off the coast of North Carolina.
• By Monday evening, the storm will strengthen, pressing almost due north.
• Here in the Hudson Valley, temperatures in the teens with heavy snow appear likely. Winds will begin to howl out of the north/northeast.
• By Tuesday morning… Bombogenesis. The Hudson Valley will continue to be plastered by heavy snow and wind. Travel anywhere from Atlantic City NJ to southern Maine will be impossible. Snowfall rates of 2 to 4 inches per hour will be common. Blizzard conditions across New England will drift the snow over 5 to 7 feet… yes, feet.

The crucial question… is just where this storm tracks, because someone is going to get over 3 feet of snow from this storm…

The National Weather Service has issued a Blizzard Watch for Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties in effect from Monday afternoon through Tuesday evening.

“While the storm from Saturday may have been a mere nuisance to travelers and a delight to skiers, the storm Monday night into Tuesday could be far more disruptive in terms of travel and daily activities,” said AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski.

While there is still uncertainty as to the track and ferocity of the developing nor’easter late Monday, there is little doubt that snow will begin to affect travel Monday in much of the region.

There is potential for a foot or more of snow Monday night from northern New jersey northeastward into parts of New England, according to the National Weather Service.
