Albany, NY – A developing late week storm could bring the possibility of accumulating snow across portions of the Northeast, including higher elevations from Pennsylvania through New York, Vermont and New Hampshire, as colder than normal temperatures spread into the region Friday and Saturday.
According to NOAA's Weather Prediction Center WPC , a low pressure system is likely to develop across the Ohio Valley late Wednesday, November 11, before moving eastward and potentially strengthening near the Mid Atlantic coast Friday.
The system could produce an expanding area of precipitation, with rain expected in some locations and snow possible across higher elevations.
Where Could Snow Fall? The WPC has released a preliminary probability outlook showing areas where at least 1 inch of snow could accumulate between 7 p.m. Thursday and 7 p.m. Saturday.
In Pennsylvania, elevated locations across the northern and northeastern portions of the state could experience snow if colder air overlaps with the approaching precipitation.
Farther north, New York's Catskill and Adirondack mountains could also see opportunities for accumulating snowfall.
The potential snow zone extends into portions of Vermont and New Hampshire, particularly across mountainous terrain.
However, the probability map does not guarantee snowfall in any specific community.
Storm Track Could Change Everything Forecasters emphasize that the storm's exact track remains uncertain.
Even relatively small shifts could determine whether communities receive rain, snow or little precipitation.
The WPC also cautions that snowfall amounts and potential impacts in lower elevation communities remain unknown.
Much colder than normal temperatures are expected to accompany the system Friday and into the weekend.
Could Weekend Travel Be Affected? Travelers heading through mountain communities across Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont and New Hampshire should monitor updated forecasts as the weekend approaches.
If accumulating snow develops, elevated roads could experience changing conditions, although significant travel disruptions have not been confirmed.
Coastal areas could also experience gusty winds and onshore flow, depending on the storm's development.
The WPC says confidence in the storm developing is higher than confidence in its specific impacts.
Residents should continue checking updated National Weather Service forecasts as snowfall probabilities and the storm's projected path become clearer.
