Pre-Thanksgiving Storm Possible: Brewster's Work Week Weather

SOUTHEAST, NY — Cold persists this week, as temps stay lower than normal in the Hudson Valley. Some forecasters are predicting a winter storm could be heading our way by Friday.

"Our cooler than average temperatures will continue through the work week," says Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.

Meteorologists are watching a potential storm that could occur as polar air drops southward late this week and into the coming weekend.

“We will have to wait and see the exact storm track, but at least some travel delays can be expected across the Northeast from heavy rain, snow and some rather strong winds,” AccuWeather Long-Range Meteorologist Evan Duffey said.

Then there's Thanksgiving. Travel plans? Keep an eye on the mid-range forecast.

“Regardless of the storm potential, people planning on traveling by car [for Thanksgiving] in the Northeast and Midwest should make sure their vehicle is prepared for winter travel conditions,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said.
