Up To 4 Inches Snow Possible Saturday In Hudson Valley

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — As we get closer to the weekend, predicted snow accumulation estimates are being issued. It seems that the snow event for Friday is a small taste of what could fall in the Hudson Valley on Saturday. So far no weather advisories have been issued, but that could change.

For the mid-Hudson Valley, the National Weather Service said about an inch to an inch-and-a-half is possible for Friday, with up to 2 inches possible on Saturday.

For the lower Hudson Valley, Friday’s snow doesn’t seem like it will be that big a deal, with rain and snow likely, turning to all rain. New snow accumulation of less than an inch being possible.

Saturday — at this point — seems to be different. The NWS is predicting 2 to 4 inches of snow possible for the lower Hudson Valley.
