Snowstorm Tuesday: Hudson Valley Could See 2–4 Inches of Snow and Hazardous Travel

Published

on

A developing coastal system is expected to bring the Hudson Valley its first measurable snowfall of the season on Tuesday, with forecasters warning of slippery travel, reduced visibility, and the potential for several inches of wet, heavy snow.

According to the latest local forecast, wet snow is expected throughout Tuesday, with accumulations of 5–10 centimeters (2–4 inches) possible across Rockland County and surrounding areas. Temperatures are forecast to hover near 35°F during the day before dipping to 23°F overnight, increasing the likelihood that snow will accumulate on untreated surfaces.

Regional meteorologists report that the storm is being driven by a coastal low tracking up the Eastern Seaboard—one that could drop 3 to 5 inches of snow across parts of New York and New Jersey as it moves inland. Snowfall totals will depend heavily on the storm’s final track, which remains uncertain.

Some forecasts suggest the Hudson Valley may see more substantial accumulation than New York City due to colder inland temperatures, while areas closer to the coast may experience a mix of rain and snow.

Commuters Urged to Prepare for Disruptions

The combination of falling snow and near-freezing temperatures is expected to create slippery roads, particularly during the afternoon and evening commute. Drivers are urged to use caution and allow extra travel time. If temperatures drop quickly after sunset, untreated roads and sidewalks may become icy.

Uncertainty Remains, but Impacts Likely

Forecasters caution that even slight shifts in the storm’s path could change snowfall totals, either increasing or reducing accumulation across the region. However, confidence is growing that much of the lower Hudson Valley will see at least several hours of accumulating snow.

Thanksgiving remains the number one day of the year for home cooking fires, occurring at more than triple the national daily average, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Unattended cooking continues to be the leading cause of these fires and related injuries during the holiday season.

As households prepare for the busy cooking day, community safety experts urge residents to stay alert in the kitchen and follow NFPA’s recommended precautions to help prevent emergencies.

Cooking Safety Tips for Thanksgiving:

  • Stay in the Kitchen — and stay home: Never leave food cooking on the stovetop or in the oven unattended. This also applies to air fryers, toaster ovens, microwaves, grills, and other appliances.

  • Keep Flammable Items Away: Keep dish towels, packaging, plastic, paper products, and other materials away from heat sources.

  • Keep Children Safe: Supervise kids closely and keep them away from stoves, hot foods and liquids, lit candles, matches, lighters, and dangling appliance cords.

  • Check Smoke Alarms: Test smoke alarms before cooking to ensure they’re working correctly. They should be tested monthly and replaced every 10 years or sooner if they stop responding.

These simple steps can help reduce the risk of cooking fires during one of the busiest—and most hazardous—kitchen days of the year.
