Weather Alert: Light Snow Expected During Morning Commute

in Rockland County, one to three inches are expected. Snow flurries should start just before 4 a.m. and end by noon.

Mostly this storm should bypass the Hudson Valley, leaving dangerous ice south of us and dropping more snow to our northeast. The largest impact may be on travelers, both on the ground and in the air.

“Motorists [in the mid-Atlantic’s I-95 corridor] should give themselves extra time for their morning commute Tuesday as they head back to work following the holiday weekend,” said AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Alyson Hoegg.

After departing the southern mid-Atlantic, the snow will turn to the north and spread across New England’s I-95 corridor on Tuesday.
