Snow Forecast a Bust for Hudson Valley

Thank you Mother Nature, well sort of.

On Thursday, the National Weather Service was predicting up to 3 inches of snow for parts of the Hudson Valley for Saturday and Saturday evening.

In a Friday morning update, the weather service has reversed itself and said, while you may see snowflakes in the air this weekend, don’t expect any real accumulation.

In fact, the further north you are in the Hudson Valley, such as Dutchess County, you may only see rain.

While the snow forecast is good news, the temperatures are still going to make it feel more like winter than spring.

A “Freeze Watch” is once again in effect late from midnight to 10 a.m. Sunday for southern Westchester County. In reality it will be below the freezing mark for the entire Hudson Valley.

Here’s the forecast for the region for today and Saturday, according to the National Weather Service:

Friday: Partly sunny, with a slight chance of showers, winds from 14-17 mph. The high will be near 50.

Friday night: Mostly cloudy, winds 5-10. The low will be around 36.

Saturday: Rain and snow in the morning, the rain in the afternoon. Less than a half inch accumulation possible. The high will be near 42.

Saturday night: Rain before 10 p.m., then a slight chance of snow until around midnight. Less than a half inch accumulation expected. The low will be around 29.
