Active Weather Pattern This Week (Nov. 26) But Limited Snow

After an unseasonably cold Turkey Day--many locations near us set record lows--things have warmed up to seasonable temperatures and the fall mud season has resumed.

Here's a rundown on the storms this week and what you can expect:

MONDAY: Cold rain leads to colder rain in the evening and then a changeover to wet snow for higher elevation towns. The rain should begin around noon.

TUESDAY: We need to keep an eye on the morning commute. There may be enough cold air in place plus enough precipitation to make for a messy drive in to school. Delays might be in play, but we don't have a lot of confidence that we'll see any for that day. In the afternoon and evening we'll see windier and cooler conditions with occasional snow showers and squalls.

NWS Albany is not promising much snow for this early week disturbance.
WEDNESDAY: Snow showers and squalls continue but should not bring too enough accumulation to warrant delays. With temps around 32 degrees, roadways will take longer to get covered.

THURSDAY: Quiet. Perhaps a stray snow shower. Mid-30s.

FRIDAY: Quiet again but we might see an Alberta Clipper sneak in from the west and drop a few inches on us in the evening. It's a little early to get a good read on this storm, but we'll be keeping an eye on it.

The best chance for delays will be Tuesday and Wednesday, but our confidence is under a 10% chance for both of those days. We'll update the developing Tuesday morning situation on Monday night.
