As that colder air filters into the region tonight, temperatures will drop enough to allow some of the rain to change over to wet snow, primarily across areas well north and west of New York City.
The higher elevations of the Hudson Valley are of particular concern, where accumulating snow is possible. Ulster County is under a winter weather advisory tonight into Friday morning, with up to 3 inches of snow possible in the higher elevations.
NBC New YorkBy Friday morning’s commute, snow showers could spread across other parts of the Hudson Valley and northern New Jersey. While most communities are not expecting significant accumulation, even a light coating could create locally slick roadways and reduced visibility, particularly in the higher elevations.
By midday, the precipitation will begin to exit from west to east, with just the chance of some scattered light showers or wet flurries lingering into early Saturday morning.
