Weather Alert: More Snow Headed Toward Southern Westchester County

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for tonight through 7 p.m. Thursday in several Westchester County communities, with as much as a combined seven inches of snow during the period.

Unlike some of the recent snow storms, this one could hit the communities along the Interstate 95 corridor harder than many of the Northern Westchester towns.

Rain and sleet will fall throughout the area during the day Wednesday, with snow becoming the dominant precipitation late Wednesday night into Thursday. The snow will not taper off until late Thursday afternoon, according to forecasters.

“Some of the snow will fall from late Wednesday night to Thursday morning in the heavily-populated Interstate-95 corridor from Washington, D.C., and Baltimore to Philadelphia and New York City,” writes AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski. “Motorists should be prepared for a slippery Thursday morning commute.”

From the NWS for much of the Southern Westchester area:

• Wednesday night: Rain and sleet before 10pm, then rain, snow, and sleet between 10pm and 2am, then snow after 2am. Low around 24. West wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow and sleet accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.
• Thursday: Snow, mainly before 4pm. Temperature falling to around 21 by 5pm. Wind chill values between 10 and 15. Northwest wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.
• Thursday Night: A chance of snow before 7pm. Cloudy during the early evening, then gradual clearing, with a low around 9. Wind chill values between -5 and 5. Northwest wind 9 to 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
