Hazardous Travel Possible in Northern Westchester

With up to a tenth of an inch of ice, a weak storm coming up the coast in advance of the stronger storm expected on Wednesday could make the Tuesday afternoon commute difficult.

Two statements from the National Weather Service that apply to Dobbs Ferry and Irvington:

• Winter Weather Advisory in effect from February 23, 01:00 PM EST until February 24, 09:00 AM EST
• Hazardous Weather Outlook

The Tuesday storm will bring snow, sleet and freezing rain.

For Hastings-on-Hudson, there is no advisory, but the forecast as of Tuesday morning calls for a slight chance of snow in the afternoon and then rain/snow in the evening.

“With afternoon temps expected to be above freezing during the daylight hours… the roads should be mainly wet at first,” said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. “However… as the sun sets, and temperatures fall near or just below freezing… snow and slush covered roads are possible. So slick road conditions are a concern for the evening commute. Something we’ll have to monitor as the afternoon progresses. In general… a slushy coating to 2 inches are possible across the region.”
