First Warning Forecast

This 2nd system is pretty much playing out with what our thinking was coming into this morning. We can already see (as of 450am) snow accumulation on our CHDPHP First Warning Cameras in Catskill and Pittsfield (MA).

Many of us in the Capital District will see a coating up to an inch of snow. It’s the high terrain to the east of Albany – Rensselaer Plateau, the Taconics and the Berkshires – where we could see 2″ to 4″ of snow. The highest tallies will come from the Catskills where 2″ to 4″ of snow could accumulate with those of you above 1,600 feet seeing upwards of 6″ of snow.

The theme of “slow to improve this weekend is also paying out. As the upper-level feature lags behind, it’ll be slow to improve today before high pressure slowly moves in with some sunshine for Sunday.
