Enjoy the last "mild" day today while you can, Hudson Valley! Temperatures will turn chilly after today and sadly stay that way through the weekend and into much of next week. A cold front will slowly approach the region today, helping to kick off shower activity. Rain showers are expected, as temps will be into the 40s all across the area. Showers arrive this afternoon, from west to east, as the cold front moves our way.

As the front is slowly passing overnight, the showers will start to change from rain to snow. Temperatures will start to go down during the same time as chilly air moves in to the region. The snow showers will shut off either before or in the beginning of Thursday morning rush. Accumulations are expected to be very low and mainly on grassy surfaces and some elevated surfaces, up to about a coating or so.

Temperatures will continue to go down through the day as chilly air moves in and does so at a quick pace. Gusty winds will move in through the day on Thursday, making the temperatures feel chilly. Friday sees out temps feeling very cold, especially in the morning hours. Some spots may feel into the single digits or near zero.
