"Hazardous travel conditions could impact both the Monday morning and evening commutes across the Hudson Valley, New York City, and Long Island, officials say. "Travel could be very difficult. Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous conditions could impact the Monday morning and evening commutes. The combination of gusty winds and heavy wet snow could bring down tree branches," the NWS states in its Winter Storm Watch."
"Long Island could see even worse conditions. Forecasters say Suffolk County could face blizzard-like conditions, with snowfall totals between 10 and 13 inches possible and wind gusts up to 45 mph. That combination of heavy, wet snow and strong winds raises the risk of downed tree branches and scattered power issues."
The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Watch from 6 a.m. Sunday through Monday afternoon for parts of southeast New York, including Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Westchester, New York City, and Long Island. Heavy snow totals of 6 to 10 inches are possible across much of the region, with Suffolk County on Long Island potentially receiving 10 to 13 inches. Winds could gust up to 40 mph regionwide and up to 45 mph on Long Island, increasing blowing snow and reducing visibility. Hazardous travel could affect both Monday morning and evening commutes. Heavy, wet snow combined with gusty winds raises the risk of downed tree branches and scattered power outages.
