A major Nor'easter a week away from the first day of spring is expected to bring the Hudson Valley to a standstill Tuesday, shutting down travel due to heavy snow and strong winds that could result in blizzard conditions during the day. Snow, arriving in the early morning, will become heavy at times, with snowfall rates of up to 2 to 3 inches per hour possible at times.
A coastal snow that will sweep through the area Saturday is tracking farther west, meaning higher snowfall totals are expected, especially for areas south and east. A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect for Southern Westchester, which could see 4 or even as much as 5 or 6 inches of accumulation, according to the National Weather Service.
With temperatures forecast to fall into the upper 20s overnight and residual water from the rain and snow melt of Thursday on area roadways and sidewalks, there is the potential for black ice formation overnight across interior portions the Hudson Valley, according to the National Weather Service.
A Nor'easter with the potential to dump anywhere from 10 to 20 inches of snow in parts of New England could impact the Hudson Valley on Thursday. A mix of intermittent rain and snow is expected in the area Thursday morning.
Residents across the area can keep those shorts handy once again Tuesday as a Bermuda high ushers in gusty southwest winds with record warmth expected across much of the area, according to the National Weather Service. High temperatures in the low to mid-80s are expected to heat up the area, with temps in the upper 70s across south coastal sections.
