Hudson Valley Snow Advisories Revised For Saturday

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — The National Weather Service has revised its storm predictions for Saturday. Friday afternoon, the NWS issued a separate winter weather advisory for southern Westchester County, predicting the Sound Shore could see 2 to 4 inches of snow.

Also, the NWS issued a new winter weather advisory for Orange, Putnam, Rockland and northern Westchester that estimates snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches.

It revised its winter weather advisory for Dutchess and Ulster counties, calling for 4-6 inches of snow.

The lower Hudson Valley could see snow start in the morning, while the advisory for mid-Hudson anticipates an early afternoon start.

Snowfall rates up to 1 inch per hour are possible Saturday afternoon and evening. Road conditions may deteriorate quickly.

The forecast still calls for a transition to rain in communities closest to New York City.

The combination plus freezing temps are expected to create difficult driving conditions throughout the weekend.

Following the snow, forecasts are calling for freezing temperatures to enter the state and remain for several days next week. New York state officials said wind chills are expected to range from 10 below zero to 30 below zero north of Rockland and Westchester counties.

The weekend storm is a big one that has affected the entire country.
