We are holding our forecast from yesterday. Short range models and current trends with rain changing to snow, show a sharpening line between heavy snow and heavy ice setting up along Interstate 88 from Binghamton to Oneonta to Albany. Get south of that line, a lot more ice and a lot less snow. Sorry Catskills

Revised forecast bringing heavier snows south and east over more of Upstate NY. Still a close call with mix/mess in the Capital Region, Catskills, and Hudson Valley. Areas to the north and west like WNY and NNY will be nearly all snow. A little mix/mess, especially at the start for the Finger Lakes, CNY and

Most of the models continue to trend colder and farther south and east with the storm track and the area of mix/mess for our storm slated to hit us between Wednesday night and Friday afternoon. The NAM and GFS are among the more considerable models with snow, and a lot of it. If you look

It’s not what you want to hear, but I have to play it straight. I have no model support for the forecast I had wanted to make yesterday. ALL MODELS are trending eastbound and down. Even the NAM and Euro, which remain the farthest west. They have shifted 75-100 miles farther east over the last

Waited for the 12Z NAM and Mesoscale runs to come down before firing this out. Sorry for the delay of a few hours. But I know you will appreciate the analysis… The cold front comes through Thursday night into Friday morning and will leave most locations in Upstate NY with at least a dusting of

Lake effect fluff behind with our clipper continues this morning across parts of Upstate NY. Latest model runs and radar trends indicate enough will stick around to put out an additional snowfall map for today. It’s not a lot, a lot of it will be fluff, but better fluffy than nothing.
