We've been keeping an eye on this nor'easter
and we're finally going to start feeling some
of those impacts as we head into early parts of our Thursday.
Showers arrive overnight.
Spotty in nature, but then this is going to intensify
as we progress throughout the afternoon and the evening.
So in terms of what this looks like, there'll
be some light showers between now and I would say around 11 a.m. noon.
Then as we get more into the afternoon,
we're going to have some nasty waves moving through.
This continues into our Thursday afternoon, potentially impacting
after school time frame and the evening rush hour commute.
That's when the worst of this is going
to be hitting areas like Westchester, Fairfield,
the Bronx and Brooklyn with some of those downpours.
So could have moderate to heavy rainfall.
Now, there's going to be waves of this,
so that does also mean there could be some periods of dryness as well.
But this is a several-day system we're going to be dealing with.
This continues into late Thursday and early parts of our Friday.
Then we're going to be seeing some
of that cold air being ushered into our region,
which could lead to some sort of a changeover
from some of that rain into some wet snow.
That's especially areas of elevation in Litchfield County,
in Dutchess, and in Ulster.
So something to certainly keep an eye on.
We could have some mixing of some snowflakes in with this.
Now, for specific areas of Ulster County,
that's areas above 1,500 feet,
we do have this winter weather advisory in place.
That's where the potential to see.
We're going to see two inches of wet, slushy snow or more, so we're
going to keep a close eye on that until we get through the overnight.
Those temperatures in the 40s as we head throughout our Thursday
were in the 50s, but it is going to be a brutal day overall.
We're dealing with that nor'easter, the rain,
the wind arrived Thursday, that potential for some snowflakes Friday,
but the wind continues into the weekend.
