Albany, NY — A developing winter storm will track near or just off the East Coast on Tuesday, bringing widespread accumulating snow to the Capital Region and surrounding areas, according to the National Weather Service in Albany. Confidence is high that much of the region will see plowable snowfall, with 4 inches or more possible, though the exact totals remain dependent on the storm’s final track.
Forecasters say travel impacts are likely—especially during the Tuesday evening commute—as snow becomes widespread and road conditions deteriorate. Even areas that may mix with rain at times early in the day are expected to turn back to snow as temperatures cool.
There is still uncertainty about how far north the rain/snow line will progress and whether areas south and east of Albany will warm enough to mix with rain for part of the event. Small shifts in the track could also lead to narrow zones of localized heavier snow, though placement remains unclear.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts and begin preparations now.
