Rain Possibly Joined By Snow, Freezing Rain Overnight: Hudson Valley

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Another winter storm will bring a wintry mix to the region overnight.

An area of low pressure will bring a light wintry mix changing to snow to the high terrain areas this afternoon into tomorrow morning. If expectations of freezing rain increase, then a winter weather advisory may be needed, the National Weather Service said.

"For a large portion of the region this will start and end as plain rain, across some of the northern counties it may start as rain and turn over to a period of snow on Thursday evening before warmer air aloft finally wins the battle and changes precip back to rain," said the folks at Hudson Valley Weather.

Temperatures are expected to hover around freezing before dawn Friday morning.

"Marginal temperatures make most of us susceptible to icing," Bruce Furbeck of First Due Weather said on Facebook.

This storm will leave cooler temperatures in its wake, temporarily. After highs in the 40s on Thursday and Friday, temps will drop into the 20s Friday night and struggle into the 30s on Saturday. By Sunday, the 40s will return.
