More Snow Chances for White Plains, Severe Cold in the Forecast

WHITE PLAINS, NY — Before we get to the brutally cold weather that’s heading our way, we have the possibility of some light snow in the offing for much of the Hudson Valley.

And the forecasts are a mixed bag, depending of course on your location.

For southern Westchester County, there’s a chance of rain before 9 p.m., then a chance of snow through early Wednesday morning.

For northern Westchester, there’s a slight chance of snow Tuesday between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m.

Rockland residents could see a little snow before 4 a.m. Wednesday, while Putnam and the Mid-Hudson Valley might see the white stuff before midnight, or even affecting the evening commute.

This seems to be the pattern for the week, with daytime temperatures falling due to polar air moving into the area.

Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather said the afternoon temperatures starting Thursday will be in the teens to low 20s, and with the wind chill factored in, even colder.

“It’s going to feel like it’s between zero and 10 degrees all day on Thursday,” he said. “Please make sure you are properly prepared for the weather that’s coming on Thursday and Friday, because it will be a shock to the system.”

The cold will last into Friday, at which point we face another wintry system, with snow, ice and rain possible.
