The National Weather Service says snow could begin early Sunday morning and linger into part of Monday, with cold air already locked in ahead of the system. Temperatures are expected to remain well below freezing from Friday night into early next week, meaning any snow that falls will stick.

While exact snowfall totals remain uncertain, multiple regional weather watchers are signaling that this storm deserves close attention.

Weather analysts at FDW Compound say recent forecast trends show improving odds for a meaningful snow event, noting that small shifts in the storm’s track could make a big difference in who sees light snow versus significant accumulation.

"Heavy Snowfall Sunday and Monday, potential for 10” to 20” of snowfall," First Due Weather from The Compound states.

Ben Noll agrees. Without releasing snowfall predictions, he says the "potential for snow in the Hudson Valley on Sunday-Monday is increasing."

Forecasters agree on one key takeaway: this will be cold enough to snow, and the ingredients are coming together for an impactful winter storm somewhere in the region. The biggest remaining question is how far north the heavier snow band reaches.
