Update: Nearly 3 Feet Of Snow Expected In Upstate New York, HV

A last-minute forecast change means many parts of the Hudson Valley are going to see more snow than originally expected.

On Monday around 10:30 p.m., Hudson Valley Weather updated its snowfall predictions for the region.

"We waited until the last second to issue this adjusted snowfall map. The reason being that the data with this storm continues to change, even at this moment. We like to issue a snow map, and only change it when necessary. The last thing we want to do is change a snowfall forecast, and then have to back track," Hudson Valley Weather stated.

Why The Last Minute Snowfall Prediction Change?

What caused the change? Officials note the low-pressure system ended up tracking much further east than expected.

"The eastern track is all but surely going to pull the heaviest snow east of where we expected. Instead of the Catskills and western Hudson Valley getting the heaviest snow, it now appears that the eastern Hudson Valley will see the heaviest snow overnight tonight into Tuesday morning. East of the Hudson River, snowfall rates 1 to 2 inches per hour are possible," Hudson Valley Weather added.
