Additional Snow In Latest Forecast For Week In Hudson Valley

An additional chance of snow is now in the latest forecast for this week in the Hudson Valley. That goes along with the National Weather Service issuing a winter weather advisory for parts of the region.

First things first: the advisory is in effect from 3 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday for Columbia, Dutchess and eastern Ulster counties.

People living there could see total snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches, along with slippery road conditions and poor visibilities.

The NWS said that hazardous conditions could impact the Wednesday evening commute.

While the morning's forecast still holds for 1 to 2 inches of snow for Westchester and Rockland and 1 to 3 inches in Putnam, according to the NWS, there is now a 20 percent chance of snow in the forecast Thursday night for the entire Hudson Valley.

That could end the snow for February and usher in another round of snow and mixed precipitation for the first day of March and the weekend.

It seems that winter is not giving up so easily as we move closer to spring.
