Freezing Rain Advisory Kicks off Work Week Weather in Putnam

BREWSTER, NY — We'll start off the work week with winter-y conditions that could cause some problems during Tuesday's morning commute; but then we move into a January thaw.

The National Weather Service has issued an advisory for Tuesday morning.

• Freezing Rain Advisory in effect from January 17, 07:00 AM EST until January 17, 12:00 PM EST

After the remnant of the ice storm that bedeviled the Midwest this weekend passes through, we'll see warmer temps in the Hudson Valley.

“For many areas, this warm-up will be similar to the January thaw that happened last week,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Brian Thompson said. “The main difference is that this warm-up could last almost a week instead of a couple of days.”

Here's the work week forecast from the NWS for Putnam County:
