STORM TEAM UPDATE: An incoming weather system could create a wintry mix followed by icy conditions. This could pose hazards on the roadways for Thursday morning. We are still gathering information on this system, stay with News 12 and we'll post new updates as they become available.
Following last night's light snowfall, you do have to brush off the car and maybe do a quick shovel on your driveway or walkway, but it should not take you too long to get around this morning. Please just use caution, especially on side streets to start the day. I would also keep the snow boots with you all day. There will be melting of snow midday, but ground conditions will stay wet and slushy.
Other than that, it will be mainly cloudy with a few breaks of sun today. High temperatures will reach the low to mid 40s. Tonight, there is not too much concern for any refreezing since lows will be in the mid to upper 30s.
Dry weather will hang with us through Wednesday and after another day with high temperatures in the 40s tomorrow, it will be colder and in the 30s for Wednesday.
NEXT SNOW OR RAIN CHANCES:
Thursday morning has the chance to be messy with a period of snow and wintry mix, gradually changing to rain. There will be another chance for a similar type of weather system Saturday afternoon. Exact details will become clear over the next couple of days and the News 12 Storm Watch Team will have updates for you on-air, on social media and right here on News12.com.
If you are looking ahead to "the big game" on Sunday, after some early morning rain showers, sunshine will break out with highs around 42 degrees.
REGARDING THE GROUNDHOGS AND... THE HUDSON VALLEY'S WEATHER PROGNOSTICATING CHICKEN:
I actually agree with Phil and Henrietta! I think winter is here to stay awhile, but that said at least we are creeping closer to meteorological spring which begins on March 1 - 25 days to go after today!
FORECAST:
TODAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy with a very light breeze. A rain sprinkle is possible north of I-84, but otherwise the day is dry. Snow will melt through the day with highs around 45 degrees. Road conditions will be wet and slushy through the day.
TONIGHT: Mainly cloudy with lows around 35 degrees.
TUESDAY: Sun and clouds. Slight chance for a flurry, mostly towards and north of I-84. Most of the day is dry. Highs around 43 degrees. Lows near 25 degrees.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Any wintry mix should hold off until late at night, but that timing can change a bit leading up to that point. Highs around 34 degrees. Lows near 29 degrees.
THURSDAY: MESSY START TO RAIN — A period of snow and wintry mix will change to rain throughout the morning. This can lead to a slippery start to the day though. Highs will end up around 48 degrees. Lows near 32 degrees.
FRIDAY: Sun and clouds. Highs around 39 degrees. Lows near 25 degrees. SATURDAY: MORE WINTRY MIX TO RAIN POSSIBLE — Dry to start with a period of snow or wintry mix developing into the afternoon, gradually changing to rain for most. Highs around 38 degrees.
