Snow, Wintry Mix Headed To The Hudson Valley

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — High winds will whip through the Hudson Valley until nightfall Monday, leaving colder temperatures. Wind chill values will make it feel on Tuesday as if temps are in the teens. Below-normal temps are expected Tuesday night.

Then by Wednesday night we could have two to five inches of snow.

Right on that storm's heels another storm system could drop another wintry mix on the region Friday night.

"Residents eager for spring will be forced to keep the snow shovels, coats and winter weather attire handy," said Kyle Elliott, AccuWeather meteorologist.

The high winds overnight Sunday through Monday evening blew down tree limbs, knocked down power lines, and left thousands of customers without power.

Monday morning, the highest reported wind gust was 59 mph in Croton-on-Hudson at 10:19 a.m., according to the National Weather Service. In Orange County, a wind gust at Stewart Airport was clocked at 53 mph at 10:45 a.m.
