A coastal low pressure system will bring a light to moderate snow accumulation to areas mainly south and east of Albany today into this evening, which will lead to slippery travel conditions. Below normal temperatures are expected for much of the upcoming week along with opportunities for snowfall from both lake effect and passing clipper systems. Heavy snow accumulations are possible for portions of the southern Adirondacks Monday night through Tuesday night which may result in difficult travel.
