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 snow mixed in Friday, and rain or a rain/snow mix changing to wet snow across higher elevations. Some of the valley areas could receive a coating to an inch or so of snow especially on the grassy surfaces. The chances for > 1" of snow accumulation have increased for the Capital District, Mohawk Valley and the Upper Hudson Valley. The chances for > 4" of snow accumulation have increased to 50 to 70% over the southern Adirondacks, eastern Catskills and the southern Greens of southern VT. Winter Weather headlines may be needed later in those areas.
