Snowfall Estimates Rise For Friday Storm

By Ryan Bonner (Patch National Staff)

All right, let’s get this over with.

Following a winter of what seemed like non-stop snow at times, spring will officially begin at 6:45 p.m. on Friday. And it will very likely be snowing at that time.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for the region:

• Winter Weather Advisory in effect from March 20, 06:00 AM EDT until March 21, 02:00 AM EDT

Snowfall estimates have risen slightly from earlier forecasts with 4-6 inches now expected across northern Westchester County.

Snow may begin to fall during the Friday morning commute, but the bulk of the snow will come in the afternoon and through the evening, the NWS says.

Hazardous travel conditions are expected due to reduced visibilities and snow covered roads.

There may be a brief window during the late afternoon and evening where some areas could see snow, sleet and freezing rain.

The snow should end before Saturday morning, which will bring partly sunny skies and a high near 42 for the second day of spring.
