Snow Accumulation Expected for Southern Westchester

The National Weather Service has issued a special statement for southern Westchester.

• Hazardous Weather Outlook

Light snow develops tonight, with a snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches expected. This will impact the morning commute late tonight into early Friday morning.

All in all this is definitely not a significant snowstorm. But this time areas closest to the coast will see the most snow, and areas inland will see the least amount. Forecasters predict that south of I-287 the accumulation could reach 2 inches, so if you're traveling south like most of the county's commuters, expect to see more white stuff.

"A slick Friday morning commute is possible, especially as you go further south in the valley," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.

It'll stay on the ground, too, as temps will stay frigid through the weekend due to the Arctic air mass that has moved in across the country.

Here are details from the NWS:

• Today: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 33. Wind chill values between 15 and 25. West wind 11 to 13 mph.
