5:00PM Wednesday:

Today's tempertures reached the mid-to-upper 50s. Colder air will come barging into our region later tonight. Both Thursday and Friday will struggle to reach 40 degrees. With winds periodically gusting up to 30 mph, temperatures will likely feel like they're in the low-to-mid 20s in the mornings and only like the mid 30s in the afternoons. A couple of flurries can't be ruled out Friday afternoon, but no snow accumulation is expected. Temperatures will warm a bit heading into the weekend with rain likely on Sunday. Our attention will then turn to this winter's first shot at accumulating snow.

For the past several days, KingstonSnows has been monitoring a potential storm that may approach our area next week - most likely around Tuesday December 1st. During this past Sunday's update, there was about a 20% chance of snow occuring in the Kingston area. However, since then the potential for this storm to occur has persisted and the chances of snow have increased slightly. It now appears fairly likely that some form of storm will develop and pass near New York State. However, its impacts will depend on how close to the state it passes. If the storm stays far south of New York State, all the snow may miss our area; however, if it passes close to New York State, then the Kingston area may see accumulating snow. While trends since Sunday have suggested an increasing possibility of snow, the potential-storm is still a week away and the forecast data will certainly continue to evolve. Overall, the risk level from this storm is still "very low" (1 of 5) because there is only a medium chance of snow and because, if it does snow, any accumulations are most likely to be relatively light. But as I mentioned, this will conintue to evolve over the coming days, and we'll continue to monitor it.

Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
