Winter Storm Watch: Pelham's Weekend Weather

PELHAM, NY — It's an all-weather holiday weekend. We'll see sun on Saturday. Then a Winter Storm Watch has been issued for Rockland and Westchester counties Saturday night into Sunday morning. We'll see sun on Sunday and Monday morning, but clouds will come in bringing a chance of rain Monday afternoon.

• WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations of 4 to 7 inches are possible.
• WHERE...Most of the Lower Hudson Valley, New York City, Southern Connecticut, Northeast New Jersey, Long Island.
• WHEN...From Saturday evening through early Sunday morning.
• DETAILS...Plan on difficult travel conditions. Significant reductions in visibility are possible.

"As the storm ramps up and spreads eastward during Saturday afternoon and night, airline delays are likely to mount due to deicing operations," said AccuWeather senior meteorologist Alex Sosnowski. "During Saturday night, where snow falls, air and road surface temperatures will lower substantially even in many of the urban areas. Roads will transition from wet to slushy and snow-covered."
