The storm could disrupt the Thursday evening commute due to heavy rain and gusty winds. Drivers should exercise caution on wet roads and be prepared for reduced visibility. Minor coastal impacts are possible, though they are expected to remain limited. Higher elevations in the Hudson Valley may see wet snowflakes on Friday, but no accumulation is expected. The colder air settling in after the storm could lead to freezing overnight temperatures, posing risks for sensitive vegetation and outdoor activities.
