After the freezing rain we had this morning, and the Winter Weather Advisory this evening, brace yourself, because we aren't done with winter weather watches for the week yet.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch from Wednesday evening through Thursday evening for the Hudson Valley. While the exact path of the storm isn't known at this point, which is why we are under a watch and not a warning, it's looking more and more like we will see some of the snow associated with this storm.

We could see heavy snow moving into our area on Wednesday evening. In fact, there's a potential for seven or more inches of accumulation. Snow is expected to begin late Wednesday night and continue through Thursday.

This will create hazardous driving conditions and possibly periods of poor visibility.
