Hazardous Weather Outlooks Issued For The Hudson Valley

The National Weather Service has issued hazardous weather outlooks for much of the Hudson Valley, including winter weather advisories for Orange, Putnam, Rockland and northern Westchester counties. For everyone, the NWS says to plan on slippery road conditions.

For Orange, Putnam and northern Westchester, the advisory is in effect from 4 a.m. to noon Sunday.

• WHAT...Mixed precipitation expected. Total sleet and snow accumulations of up to one inch and ice accumulations of up to one tenth of an inch expected.
• WHERE...Portions of southern Connecticut and southeast New York.

For Rockland County the advisory is in effect from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m.

• WHERE...In New Jersey, Western Passaic County. In Connecticut, Southern Fairfield County. In New York, Rockland County.

For Dutchess and Ulster counties, there is no advisory yet, but the hazardous weather outlook says:

Light snow will develop across the region late tonight after midnight. The precipitation will change to sleet and possibly freezing rain after sunrise Sunday, before ending as plain showers across most of the area during the day on Sunday. A light accumulation of snow is expected and some areas may see a light glaze of ice as well. The wintry precipitation will make for hazardous driving and walking conditions late Saturday night into Sunday, especially across northern and high terrain areas.

Although the NWS predicts southern Westchester could see snow and sleet accumulation up to 1 inch, no advisory was issued Saturday morning.
