Snow Threat In Hudson Valley Through Weekend

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — You didn’t put the snow shovel away yet, did you? Well, you may need it, because there could be a significant snowstorm heading toward the northeast this coming weekend. According to Accuweather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski, a trio of storms will come through, with the most significant one — the second one — predicted for Saturday into Saturday night.

“How much snow accumulates on roads will depend on the time of day and the rate of snowfall,” Sosnowski said. “Where it snows at night to the first few hours of the morning, roads are likely to be slushy and perhaps snow-covered, even in urban areas.”

The National Weather Service is calling for a 30 percent chance of snow and rain for the Peekskill area Thursday night. There is a greater chance for frozen precipitation north of Peekskill.

Snow is likely Friday morning, but it could turn to rain as the temperature rises over the course of the day.

And then there is about a 50 percent chance of rain and snow all day Saturday.
