Hudson Valley Hazardous Outlook Updated

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Updating its hazardous outlook for the region, the National Weather Service still calls for a mix of rain and snow overnight in the mid-Hudson.

"A dynamic storm system is expected to bring light to moderate wet snow to the higher terrain and a rain/snow mix to the valleys Thursday night into Friday," the NWS said. "If confidence increase on higher snow amounts for the higher terrain areas, winter weather advisories may be needed.

"Prepare for slippery roads if in the valley or higher terrain due to either snow or a rain/snow mix."

However, the folks at Hudson Valley Weather said "the threat for wet snow in the Hudson Valley has diminished greatly."

Instead, a lot of wet snow is expected to fall on New England.

"We’ll let you know if any changes begin to emerge, but a cold, blustery rain storm is what we expect on Thursday into Friday," said Alex Marra and Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.
