Our Mission

To provide the most accurate, hype free and down-to-Earth weather forecasts for the Hudson Valley and Catskills of New York in an easy to digest and understand format for those who just want to know the weather, and even to our audience who has a passion for meteorology. 

Our History

The original Hudson Valley Weather was founded in January of 2011 and is still growing everyday! HVW was founded by a person who has always loved the weather since a kid and grew up locally and dealt with the frustration of only getting forecasts for Albany and NYC. This frustration and deep passion for the weather led to the creation of a local Facebook page to keep everyone in the beautiful Hudson Valley informed on local weather. Our Facebook page, now with more than 160,000 likes, we can be heard on seven local radio stations, instagram and Twitter. We have become the sole source of weather for many and HVW has become a community of followers whose interaction and information make Hudson Valley Weather next to none for local weather.

Our Team

Alex Marra : President / Senior Forecaster

President and founder of Hudson Valley Weather. Born and raised in the Hudson Valley, Alex grew up dealing with the frustration of only getting forecasts for Albany and NYC. This frustration and deep passion for the weather led to the creation of a local Facebook page to keep his friends and family informed on local weather. Alex created Hudson Valley Weather in January of 2011. What began as a small Facebook page, quickly expanded into a regional resource used by thousands of residents.

His passion for the outdoors has given him specialized knowledge of all the local micro-climates in the region.  That knowledge helped spark the creation of the HVW zone map.  The zone map breaks the Hudson Valley into 9 distinct regions, which helps HVW provide extremely detailed forecasts for the entire region, especially during winter storms.

Bill Potter: Senior Forecaster

Bill is a life long resident of the Hudson Valley, with a passion for forecasting the weather that extends all the way back to childhood. In 2008, after constantly fielding weather questions from friends and family, he created the website Mid Hudson Weather. What began as a place for friends and family to get information, gradually expanded into a valuable local resource, used by thousands of local residents.

In July of 2014, Bill joined Hudson Valley Weather. Working side by side, Bill and Alex have made it their continuing mission, to bring the most accurate weather forecast possible to the residents of the Hudson Valley.
