A coastal low pressure system will continue to bring some light snowfall through the late evening, many for areas south and east of the Capital Region, 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 lake effect snow accumulations are expected for portions of the western Adirondacks Monday night through Tuesday night which may result in difficult travel.
