“Snow breaks out from west to east, just in time to make a mess of the Tuesday evening commute,” says Bill Potter from Hudson Valley Weather. “ You’ll want to allow extra travel time for your PM commute, because the snow should be falling quite steadily at that point. An inch or two is possible by the time the sun sets.”
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Westchester County from 3 p.m. today until 6 a.m. Wednesday.
