...Scattered to Numerous Snow Showers Today...
.DISCUSSION...
Lake effect snow across the northern Adirondacks will diminish
this morning. However, a combination of upslope snow and
convective snow showers will result in extensive coverage of snow
across Vermont and northern New York. Mainly a few hundredths up
to 0.20" of liquid equivalent, locally higher over mountain
summits, is expected today. It will be breezy again, today with
gusts of 20 to 30 mph, locally to 35 mph, during the daylight
hours. Temperatures today will remain in the 30s for most, and so
relative humidity values will struggle to get below 50 percent.
Drier conditions will prevail Saturday, but with the recent
intervals of precipitation, no fire weather concerns are expected
over the next several days.
