Eastern New York Faces Cold Rain Thursday Into Saturday, With Wet Snow Possible at Higher Elevations and Highs in the 30s and 40s
The National Weather Service office in Albany, New York, said in its forecast discussion issued at 6:39 p.m. EST on Monday, November 9, 2026, that a storm system approaching from the Ohio Valley and the northern Appalachians on Thursday will redevelop near or off the northern Mid-Atlantic coast on Friday, and that the most likely outcome for eastern New York is periods of rain developing Thursday, possibly mixing with or changing to wet snow across higher terrain Thursday night into Friday night and Saturday morning.
Confidence in the storm's track remains low. How far north the redeveloping low tracks, and how quickly it moves east, will determine precipitation type and amounts, and ensemble spread on the low's evolution remains high, so trends will need to be watched as the late-week period approaches. The aviation outlook already rates Thursday as high impact with rain likely, and Thursday night as rain likely, mixing with snow.
Confidence is higher on the cold. The Weather Service said below-normal temperatures are expected Thursday through Saturday, with daytime highs mainly in the 30s and 40s, overnight lows in the 30s at lower elevations, and in the 20s to lower 30s across higher terrain.
Ahead of the storm, a pair of upper-level disturbances brings rain showers and gusty winds through Tuesday: gusts of 25 to 35 mph on Monday afternoon, and on Tuesday afternoon southwest to west winds of 25 to 35 mph north of Interstate 90, with some gusts of 30 to 40 mph over higher terrain. As of Monday evening, no watches, warnings or advisories were in effect for the area. (Source: National Weather Service)
