Approaching Snow Prompts Winter Weather Advisories

The second winter weather event for the week is forecast to begin affecting the Hudson Valley Wednesday. Because of that, the National Weather Service has issued winter weather advisories for the region.

The first advisory — for Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties — is in effect from noon Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday.

Mixed precipitation is expected with total snow accumulations of 1 to 3 inches and ice accumulations of a light glaze.

For Dutchess, Ulster and western Columbia counties, the advisory is in effect from 4 p.m. Wednesday to 7 a.m. Thursday.

There could be up to 2 inches of snow and accumulations of up to 1/10 of an inch expected.

For the entire region, motorists should plan on slippery road conditions.

The hazardous conditions could impact the Wednesday evening commute in all counties and the Thursday morning commute for the mid-Hudson Valley.
