Hazardous Weather Outlook: White Plains' Weekend

WHITE PLAINS, NY — The wintry mix followed by lots of rain in this current storm has led the National Weather Service to issue a Hazardous Weather Outlook for southern Westchester County.

And there is also a Coastal Flood Advisory in effect from 1 a.m. to 4 a.m. Saturday. High tides could be 2 to 2-1/2 feet above normal.

But there is some good news for Friday: the snow line is well to the north of us.

"Greene and Columbia counties are the only locations where the mid levels look likely to support wet snow through the day… but there, surface temperatures will be a problem near the river," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.

But with highs staying mired in the 30s, it certainly won't feel like spring — and even the lower Hudson Valley could see some sleet overnight.

Also, the slow-moving storm will last through Saturday.

Here's the NWS forecast for southern Westchester:

• Today: Rain and sleet, becoming all rain after 3pm. High near 38. Wind chill values between 30 and 35. East wind 9 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Little or no sleet accumulation expected.
• Tonight: Rain. The rain could be heavy at times. Low around 35. Wind chill values between 25 and 30. Breezy, with an east wind 18 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible.
• Saturday: Rain likely, mainly before 9am. Cloudy, with a high near 42. Wind chill values between 25 and 30. Breezy, with a north wind 18 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.
