From the Forecaster
Storm Approaching Later This Week - An approaching storm system looks to bring widespread precipitation from mainly late Wednesday night through Friday. At this time rain is generally expected at lower elevations with some wet snowflakes mixed in Friday, and rain or a rain/snow mix changing to wet snow across higher elevations. Best chances for > 1" of snow accumulation will be over mountain areas, while the entire region has > 70% chance of at least 0.50" liquid precipitation.
Widespread Precipitation Chances - We know you've all heard about the end-of-the-week storm. While some of the details are still somewhat uncertain, we figured it was time to address what we know: Our confidence is increasing in the development of a snow storm that will impact the region Thursday into the weekend. However, we still only have low to medium confidence in the precipitation types and amounts due to the uncertainty in the storm track. At this time, the primary precipitation type looks to be rain, though some light snow could mix into the Adirondacks, eastern Catskills, and southern Greens mainly Friday night into Saturday. A few flakes could mix with the rain in the valleys, but that is still to be determined at this point. The good news is this shouldn't be a storm that brings significant impacts, but rather beneficial precipitation.
