Albany, NY – Steady snow is spreading north across eastern New York this evening, with heavier bands expected to develop overnight and create hazardous travel conditions into early Sunday.
According to the US National Weather Service in Albany, radar imagery shows snow overspreading the Catskills, Mid-Hudson Valley, and western Connecticut from the south. The system will continue pushing north over the next several hours, becoming heavy tonight into Sunday morning.
Forecasters say snowfall rates may increase significantly after midnight, especially across the Capital Region, southern Vermont, and higher elevations. Localized totals of 10 inches or more are possible by daybreak in some areas, particularly where heavier bands persist.
Road conditions are expected to deteriorate as snowfall intensifies. Slushy surfaces this evening may quickly become snow-covered and slick overnight. Reduced visibility and accumulating snow could impact travel along Interstate 87, Interstate 90, and secondary roads across Albany County, Rensselaer County, Saratoga County, and surrounding areas.
Residents planning late-night or early Sunday travel are urged to allow extra time and monitor updated forecasts. Snowfall is expected to taper gradually later Sunday morning from south to north.
Motorists should use caution, reduce speeds, and check local road conditions before heading out.
