The cool and wet pattern continues, and tonight into Monday we might see measurable snow. We've been flirting with snow in our area the last few storms, and tonight we finally might see the ground covered again.
Because it's so late in the season, we are not at all confident that schools will see delays tomorrow. The roads have warmed up, and this system is not going to produce all that much moisture. But the timing is excellent and it could very well be messy for the morning commute.

NWS Albany. Notice that this forecast is through Wednesday AM. More accumulating snow showers are possible Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning. |
NWS Albany is telling us that areas above 500' of elevation are the likeliest to see measurable snow. The usual suspects in the eastern portions of the county will again have the better chance for a delay.
Snow should start to fall around 4 AM and continue until 11 AM. Hopefully it will start a little earlier than 4 AM because we'll need several hours of wet snow for it to eventually accumulate on the roads.
After much deliberation, we're going to go with a 15% chance for a delay tomorrow. Most schools will have a full day, but we might see a few districts all their students to sleep in for a few extra hours.
