Chance of Snow After Temps Plummet in Hudson Valley

Enjoy today’s weather, as most of the Hudson Valley will see temps near 50 degrees and then the freezer door will open.

"The cold is coming … get ready for it," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.

Like the rest of the country, the Hudson Valley will experience below-normal temperatures for the next five days. In fact, highs for most the region will be below freezing (and only in the 20s over the weekend).

Plus, the lower Hudson Valley could see a bit of snow overnight Thursday that would affect school openings and the morning commute on Friday.

Meteorologists are predicting up to an inch of snow accumulating along parts of Interstate 95 by mid-morning on Friday.

“The snow will fall during the predawn and morning hours on Friday from Boston to Washington,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Brian Thompson said. “While this certainly will not be a major snowfall, the timing of this covering of snow will make many roads slippery for the Friday morning commute."
