Albany, NY – A winter storm system continues to impact parts of New England, bringing rain and accumulating wet snow. According to the National Weather Service, snow accumulations of up to three inches are expected late this afternoon into tonight in the higher elevations of the eastern Catskills, southern Adirondacks, Berkshires, and southern Vermont. In lower elevations, snow is likely to accumulate primarily on grassy surfaces.
The snowstorm is part of a broader hazardous weather outlook affecting northwestern Connecticut, western Massachusetts, and eastern New York, including southern Vermont. Travelers should be cautious as the wet snow could create slippery road conditions in these areas, particularly in higher altitudes.
As the storm moves through the region, another system is expected to bring additional snow and icy conditions late Friday into Saturday. The eastern Catskills, southern Greens, and Berkshires could see moderate snow accumulation, with a mix of sleet or freezing rain possible. The National Weather Service warns that winter weather advisories may be issued if the storm’s impact increases.
Weather spotters are urged to report snow amounts to the National Weather Service in Albany.
