WHITE PLAINS, NY — Disruptive snowstorms are expected to come sweeping through from the west over the next week, but will they affect the Hudson Valley?

If you have weekend plans there is some good news for you. A forecasted snowstorm for this weekend appears as of right now to be a miss for the Hudson Valley — our chance of snow is only about 30 percent.

However, snow appears a possibility for both Friday and next Tuesday as well.

AccuWeather meteorologists called the series of snowstorms "winter's revenge."

“The reason for the upcoming snow threats is that the boundary between very cold air to the north and very mild air to the south will be over the Midwest and Northeast,” said AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Elliot Abrams, “and the storms often track along that boundary.”

The first chance for snow would begin close to midnight Thursday and continue into Friday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. No accumulation estimates have been made as of yet. Forecast models suggest it might pass us to the south.

As for the weekend storm, forecast models suggest it won’t make it to the Hudson Valley either, though we could be affected by frigid air on its northern edge.

Tuesday is too far out to discuss.
