Blizzard Warning: Could Storm Bring White Plains to 'Standstill'?

WHITE PLAINS, NY — The National Weather Service added Rockland County and northern Westchester to its Blizzard Warning early Monday morning, saying the storm headed toward the region had significantly shifted its track. Southern Westchester was already under a Blizzard Warning.

"If this scenario turns out to be correct… which is a reasonable possibility… the Hudson Valley will be brought to a complete standstill by noon on Tuesday," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. "Travel will be nearly impossible, with snow falling at 3 to 5 inches per hour. Make sure you follow the developments on Tuesday very close… you do not want to get caught out on the roads in this."

• Blizzard Warning in effect from March 14, 12:00 AM EDT until March 15, 12:00 AM EDT
• Hazardous Weather Outlook
• Coastal Flood Advisory in effect from March 14, 12:00 PM EDT until March 14, 04:00 PM EDT

Hudson Valley Weather predicts we could get 16-24 inches of snow, total.

The timing from Hudson Valley Weather:

• Beginning between 3 a.m and 7 a.m. on Tuesday
• Falling heavily from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• Tapering off snow showers between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tuesday
• Showers plus blowing and drifting snow continue into Wednesday
