Initial Snow Accumulation Estimate Made for Hudson Valley

Make sure you enjoy the warmer temperatures Thursday, even though there will be periods of rain.

Because it’s going to get colder Friday and—wait for it—there is snow in the forecast.

Yes, folks, the winter that never happened seems to not realize it is spring.

Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather said it’s getting ridiculous.

“After a winter that saw nearly zero winter storm threats, no sooner did we turn the calendar to April, then winter shows up,” he said, “and unleashes fury on the Hudson Valley.”

Potter said the data is showing that snow accumulation is increasingly likely, but again, it’s too early to tell how much, because a shift in the system either north or south will have big implications.

So for now, keep it in mind.

For Thursday, we will have rain to get through.

The National Weather Service is calling for a high Thursday in the upper-50s, with periods of rain and possible thunderstorms.

Overnight there will be the chance of showers and the low will dip to near 40 degrees.

There could be isolated showers on Friday, and the high temperatures will get close to 50, going down to near freezing overnight.

For Saturday, the NWS is predicting snow over much of the lower Hudson Valley. Some areas could see up to 3 inches.

The high temperature will be near 40, but won’t be there for long before it gets colder.

The Mid-Hudson Valley, at this point, is forecast to get rain showers during the day Saturday, with a chance of snow overnight.
