.DISCUSSION...
Lake effect snow will move into the western Adirondacks
early tonight and slowly shift southward into the Mohawk Valley,
Capital Region and northern Catskills Friday morning. Heavy snow
accumulations will occur where the bands set up mainly west of the
Capital Region with some higher total over the northern Taconics and
northern Berkshires. High pressure builds in Saturday with cold and
dry weather before a pair of systems impact the region Sunday into
Monday morning, and also Tuesday with rain and snow, though the
Tuesday system could bring a widespread accumulating snow.
