A storm that is gathering strength in the Central Plains states today, and will make its way northeast into NYS Wednesday afternoon and evening. The storm will begin as snow, and will likely transition over to rain in the valley regions during the overnight hours. Albany will be getting a nice southerly flow, which will help hinder the accumulation of snow. 1-3 inches of snow is expected to fall before the transition, which will make for slushy road conditions for the Thursday morning commute.
Periods of a rain/snow mix are also expected, but luckily sleet and freezing rain won't be a factor in this storm. The rain/snow showers are expected to taper off by Thursday afternoon, with scattered flurries Thursday evening and Friday. We will catch a short break before another system moves into the region, which will bring some small additional snow accumulations during the weekend, with 0 to 3 inches of snow falling across the state.
Tomorrow looks like the start of another dynamic pattern, in which NYS will get a storm every 2-3 days for at least the next couple of weeks. The storms over a week out from now appear to be mostly rain, but these storms are too far out to make any deterministic forecasts.
