Thurs 2pm 6-20; During the last day of the current heat spell, a severe thunderstorm watch has been posted for the region. Looking at the radar, these storms, currently in the central Adks are moving eastward. This is not a solid line, so some areas may get hit, others not, just like yesterday. Threat will continue till early evening. Relief from the heat and humidity starts tomorrow.
Sat 7am 6-15; Beautiful weather this weekend with cool overnight temps before the much talked about heat wave starts on Monday. Temps will reach well into the 90's much of next week, with increasingly humid conditions, and chances for afternoon thunderstorms after mid week. Temps look to modify greatly (downward) next weekend.
Tues June 11; A warm weather pattern is in store for the North Country, starting Thurs, cooling off somewhat over the weekend, and warming up again next week. Next chance of light showers late Thurs into Fri, nothing major though. Enjoy!
Memorial Day, 1:30pm; A area of showers and thunderstorms will be approaching central and eastern Adks this afternoon. Heavy rain, lightning, gusty winds are possible later this afternoon and evening.
Sat 2pm, 5-25; Lovely Saturday , Showers and thunderstorms tonight, nice Sunday and first part of Monday, Memorial day, with showers moving in Mon afternoon, for your holiday weekend forecast. Enjoy!
Wednesday 6pm; showers and thunderstorms expected after 8-9pm tonight. If the storms don't get shredded crossing the Adks, they are capable of producing damaging winds and frequent lightning.
Fri 7pm 5-17; Beautiful weather today, Friday, will give way to a few showers Sat, then clearing out. The big weather news here in the Adirondacks is for temps rising into the 80's early next week. The summery weather will continue til later in the week, when we will return to normal spring temps. Enjoy your weekend!
Sunday 8am, 5-12; Another unsettled week ahead, but much like the last couple weeks, not much rain will fall. Spotty showers, periods of sun. Across the state, rivers and streams have fallen to average or below average levels for mid May. The usual heavy spring rains have been absent this year. The silver lining of all this, less standing water = less mosquitoes, I'm sure no one wants a repeat of last years horrific infestation!
Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis, right now, 10:30pm. Look towards northern horizon. Should be visible next several hours. I took these looking north on the Charlie Hill Northway overpass.
Wed 6pm, thunder storms moving thru the Adks tonight. Be advised.
Sunday May 5, 6:30am; Greetings this rainy Sunday morning. Rain most of the day today, clearing out Monday and Tues look nice for outdoor activities. Showers return later in the week. Hummingbirds have been spotted across the area, so get those feeders out.
Sat. 12:30, 4-27; Beautiful day today, with increasing clouds this afternoon. Showers move in tonight, in fact unsettled weather for the next week. Not seeing any washouts, just cloudy with a chance of showers. The 7 day QPF is calling for half to three quarters inch of rain over the next 7 days, so nothing major, except for areas that have a thunderstorm. Hummingbirds advancing into Northern NY.
Tues 6:30pm 4-23; Showers move into the area late tonight into tomorrow, Wed. Clearing and sensible weather returns Thurs into the weekend. Enjoy the spring weather. Hummingbirds now in NYS. I think feeders should go out next week.
Tues 10am 4-16; Nice, seasonable weather next couple days. Rain showers move back in Thurs into first part of the weekend. Not expecting much in regards to rainfall amounts. Back to nice weather second part of the weekend into next week. Hummingbirds continue their northern migration, now into Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Wed 6am 4-10; Rainy and unsettled would describe the next few days. Now it won't be raining consistently straight through Sat, but the next forecasted sunny day will be Sunday. Biggest news is, NO SNOW! Hummingbirds continue their northern migration. "April showers bring May flowers!"

Monday 9:30am 4-8; From our friends at NWS Burlington.
Sunday 5pm; Been watching a trend for more clouds tomorrow afternoon for the eclipse. The percentages on this map stand for amount of sky coverage of clouds. The numbers were in the low teens yesterday. Now these clouds are not thick, leaden clouds, they hopefully would provide at least a filtered view. Will check back tomorrow morning.
Sat 6:30am 4-6; Well, that's a wrap! (hopefully!) The latest addition of "the end of winter snowstorm" is in the books. About a foot of heavy, wet snow, with mud underneath, lovely stuff to plow! Now we can look forward to sensible weather returning, I spy some 60's this coming week. AND, it looks mostly clear Monday for all the eclipse enthusiasts!
Fri 7:30 update; Mostly northern Essex.
Thurs 6am 4-4; Snow continues this morning, heavy at times, becoming lighter in the afternoon. Worst will be from now til early afternoon. 4" measured at 1007 ft elevation lower Charlie Hill at 6am. The intensity radar shows bright green banding of heavier snow, that will rotate north before it ends. Another 4-7" this morning. The State snowfall map that I posted is for expected snow starting at 8am, not storm totals. Highest amounts at the higher elevations. Near 50* by Sunday.
Wed 3:30pm Update; We have pingers! (sleet) Alternating between rain, sleet, and wet snow this afternoon. Roads just wet, so far. Temps area wide falling into the mid thirties. Dry slot moving in currently, but precip will pick up later this afternoon. Right now, the forecast looks to be in good shape.
Wed 6:30am 4-3; Probably the most complicated forecast of the season with this one. We have a western storm heading into the Great Lakes, another storm forming off the coast, and very marginal cold air in place. Currently the area is in the upper 30's to low 40's. Today we will be influenced by the western storm, and be rain showers. As the coastal strengthens, it's northeast winds will tap into colder Canadian air, that plus heavier precip will cool the air column sufficiently to change the precip to snow-sleet. That happens early this evening. Snow-sleet will be heavy at times tonight, continuing into Thurs, and intensity will vary during the day Thurs. The upper level thermal profiles on this storm are a mess, causing sleet to mix in, which could knock down snow totals, but that is difficult to predict. The coastal will stall out off the Maine coast, sending snow showers Thurs night, Fri, into Sat, but little, if any accumulations during that period. As for totals, elevation will play a roll, 10-18" seems likely, but sleet may hold back on those amounts. If this was a Feb storm, we'd be looking at 2ft plus, and the highest peaks may get that amount. Upper 50's next week.
Mon 7am 4-1; Sorry, not an April Fools post. Model trends last few days have moved toward a high impact winter storm, jackpoting the Adirondacks with high snow totals. Long duration event, Wed-Fri. Winter Storm Watches have not yet been posted, so still alot to figure out with this one. Elevation will play a big roll with this storm, but everyone will get in on the action. More tomorrow morning......
Sat 7am 3-30; Seasonal average temps this Easter weekend with virtually no precip. No travel issues. Our attention turns to next week, as it appears that time frame will be very unsettled, starting Monday through Thursday. Upper level low approaches from the west, transfers it's energy to a developing coastal storm, (classic Miller B setup) and takes it's sweet time exiting. Early in the week it is mostly rain and showers, as there is little cold air to work with, but as the week progresses (Wed) the coastal will tap into the cold in eastern Canada, and snow is definitely a possibility. Very elevation dependent storm. Too early to speculate on snow amounts, we'll try and nail that down as we get closer. Friday and beyond sensible weather returns with above average temps. Is it time to dig out the Feb 2 ground hog day predictions yet??? :D
Sunday 3pm 3-24; As it turns out, we had the biggest snowstorm of the 2023-24 season, late as it was. 10"-13" is what I came across in my plowing route. But we just missed an epic storm, as the models started showing Fri night, the heaviest snow axis shifted south and east just a bit. Those areas picked up 18"-31". Today the late March higher sun angle is doing it's job, settling and melting.
This week we start out warming into the 50's, unsettled mid week with rain showers, sun returns for the Easter weekend.
Sat Noon Update; I don't think the bright green heavy snow has moved 25mile north since 5am. We have been in the darker blue the last couple hours, and snow rates have increased from this mornings very light stuff. Back edge of precip around Watertown and heading east. About 7" lower elevation Charlie Hill, did not find more snow at 1600ft earlier today. Interesting to see if we get an hour or 2 with the heavier stuff before it all heads east.
Wanted to check out some local higher elevations conditions. I found a winter wonderland. Elevation 2020 ft.
