"Exploring Hudson Valley Weather: A Guide to Precipitation Varieties"

Multiple waves of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and rain are expected to move into the Hudson Valley region from Tuesday through Wednesday overnight, causing potentially icy conditions for commutes. The precipitation will start as a mix of snow and sleet, transitioning to wet snow during Tuesday afternoon and continuing with on-and-off periods of wintry mix into Tuesday night. Overnight, the snow will transition to a wintry mix and mainly rain in the valley by Wednesday morning. While the storms are not expected to be strong, the prolonged period of precipitation along a boundary between colder air north and warmer air from the south may lead to slick travel conditions. Snowfall of a trace to two inches is likely, with light freezing rain possible in elevated areas, and rainfall amounts are not expected to result in flooding concerns.
