6:00PM Tuesday:

A snow squall this morning brought a dusting of snow to parts of the Kingston area. We'll see another round of light snow tonight with rain likely by the end of the week.

The Forecast:

A weak storm system is about to enter New York State. This storm will bring a couple hours of light snow tonight. Snow is most likely between 10PM and 3AM. A dusting to an inch of accumulation is possible. There could be a couple of passing flurries or snow showers during the day on Wednesday, but otherwise it'll be dry and windy. Wind gusts up to 35 mph are possible. The dry weather will linger through Thursday night. Friday morning, our next system will bring mainly rain to the region. There could be some wet snowflakes or patchy freezing drizzle if the storm arrives early enough in the morning, however, this is not currently likely. After a round of dry weather on Saturday we could see another shot at light snow Sunday afternoon and evening - any accumulations would likely be under 4 inches and probably end by midnight.

The Impacts:

Only minor weather impacts are expected this week. Tonight, slick roads are possible from the light coating of snow that will likely fall. If schools were in session tomorrow, there would be about a 30% chance of a two-hour delay in Kingston. On Friday, no particular impacts are expected from the rain. We will have to watch if patchy freezing drizzle is able to develop early Friday morning, because that could make for slick spots and a couple of two-hour delays. However, there is currently a relatively low risk of the freezing rain actually happening in the Kingston area. And then Sunday evening, light snow could make for some slick roads. There's currently about a 20% chance of delays on Monday.
