End of 2016 Weather for Southeast

BREWSTER, NY — While things will be colder, we will have a chance to dry out for a few days before the next holiday weekend.

Actually, before the next storm, which is predicted to proceed the next holiday weekend.

"Our next chance for precipitation comes on Thursday, as a weak system pushes into our area," says Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. "As of this post… it looks like a mix of light snow and rain showers, because temperatures could rise above freezing during the event. Regardless… it needs to be watched."

If you're traveling Thursday-Friday, you may be affected by this storm.

“Locations from Washington, D.C., to New York City are expected to stay too mild for any snow from this storm,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Renee Duff said. “However, interior New England is setting up to be the prime location for significant snowfall from this event."

Then New Year's Eve should be cold and cloudy.
