Winter Weather 23/24

The 1st storm this weekend should be a fun snowy winter storm.
The 2nd one midweek looks to be a dang shitshow.
Accuweather is pretty slow on updates, right now they have "A little morning snow; otherwise, cloudy" with a high of 46 in Saratoga Springs for next Wednesday.

NWS Albany
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Potential multi-hazard, highly impactful storm late Tuesday into
Wednesday is the main highlight for the long term. Deep low pressure
will track into the Ohio Valley and then toward eastern Great Lakes
during this time, with 00Z/05 GEFS consensus MSLP anomalies of at
least -3 SD. Strong low level jet with -U/+V H925 and H850 wind
anomalies of 3 to 4+ SD, and PWAT anomalies of at least +2-3 SD
should ensure a moisture-laden storm along with strong gusty winds.

Initially, there could be a lead burst of snow late Tuesday or
Tuesday evening, especially across higher elevations north of I-90,
which could transition to a wintry mix before changing to rain, with
mainly rain across the mid Hudson Valley and NW CT. A period of

heavy rain is quite possible across the SE Catskills, mid Hudson
Valley and NW CT, and trends will need to be watched closely given
possible antecedent snowpack and rapid melting combined with the
heavy rainfall for possible flooding. In addition, strong
southeast/east winds will be possible Tuesday night, especially
across higher terrain areas (particularly the Taconics, southern
Greens and Berkshires), followed by potentially strong west winds in

the wake of the storm for Wednesday-Wednesday night.

There could be some lake effect snow in the wake of the storm across
portions of the SW Adirondacks and Mohawk Valley late Wednesday
night into Thursday.

Otherwise, generally dry and chilly conditions for Monday through
Tuesday morning as high pressure shifts eastward across the
region.

Emphasis added.

I don't think we will have to worry about more flooding in most of the Adirondacks, unless it's caused by excessive rainfall, because there is very little snow to melt after the last major meltdown. Very Sad.

Neither in CNY except for a few low spots but it’d be nice if the blobs of wet stuff would stop and it’d stay below freezing for awhile.
 
Another problem is that even though there’s no snow pack the ground for the most part is frozen, so any rain will not be absorbed and will runoff very quickly causing river flooding

BGM has their winter storm warning up. I'm sure ALY will be following suit soon.

For those following along at home Pink > Blue > Purple.

Jason does the GFS have something (positive) for next weekend?
