The primary snowflakes of the season for Latest York City’s northern suburbs are expected to fall Tuesday night with as much as two inches of accumulation possible.
The expected snowfall prompted the National Weather Service to issue a winter weather advisory for Orange County where “wintery precipitation” may arrive by Tuesday evening’s rush-hour commute.
The precipitation will likely start as rain before changing over to the white stuff “because the sun goes down overnight,” Fox Weather meteorologist Cody Braud told The Post.
The snow “will probably linger to the morning hours on Wednesday in your morning commute as well,” Braud said.
Any snow accumulations can be unseasonably early for the realm. Much of the encircling areas typically get their first snowfall in early to mid December, Braud said. Central Park typically sees its first flakes around Dec. 15.
The National Weather Service predicted as much as two inches of snow for Orange County with an inch of less within the Lower Hudson Valley.
Nonetheless, Braud said he doesn’t consider there can be much if any accumulation in Orange County.
“Will they see measurable snow this time? I’m going to say no, but they may definitely see some very wet and heavy flakes flying overnight Tuesday into Wednesday,” Braud said.
The world’s first snowfall follows an abnormally warm early November in Latest York and your entire Northeast. But temperatures within the region are quickly dropping to below average levels through the remaining of the month.
“We’re gonna be flipping a drastic switch as we form of undergo the latter half of the month,” Braud said. “It’s going to be below average almost each day.”
