Hazardous Outlook Kicks Off Bronxville's Work Week Weather

BRONXVILLE, NY — The National Weather Service has issued hazardous weather outlooks for Dutchess, Orange, Rockland, Putnam, Ulster and northern Westchester counties for overnight Monday. But some meteorologists are concerned that the advancing front may bring an early band of snow through the Hudson Valley during the Monday evening commute.

"A short burst of snow can’t be ruled out," said Alex Marra and Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. "It doesn’t look too potent, but the timing couldn’t be worse. We could be seeing some reduced visibility, with slick spots due to accumulating snow."

After that, the NWS says:

A light wintry mix of precipitation is likely late tonight into early Tuesday morning. A period of freezing rain is possible early Tuesday morning in the sheltered valleys of interior southern Connecticut and the Lower Hudson Valley where the cold air is able to remain in place the longest, but any accumulations should be limited to a light glaze.

After that, we're going to get more seasonable weather: blustery, colder and with intermittent applications of wintry mix.
