The National Weather Service in Albany is forecasting mostly cloudy conditions with a slight chance of snow showers, particularly west and east of the Hudson Valley. Higher elevations, including areas near Glens Falls, Bennington and the southern Green Mountains, have the best chance to see brief snow bursts that could briefly reduce visibility and create slick spots on untreated roads, especially along I-87 through the Adirondack Northway corridor and I-90 west toward Herkimer.

Why it matters

While widespread accumulation is not expected, the spotty snow showers could impact travel conditions in higher elevation areas, especially on elevated and rural roadways. Drivers should remain alert for changing conditions in these regions where temperatures will hover near freezing.

The details

Afternoon high temperatures will range from near 32 degrees in Albany and Hunter to the mid-30s in Glens Falls and Pittsfield. Farther south toward Poughkeepsie along I-84, highs may reach the lower 40s. Temperatures remain near normal for mid-February, with no major winter storm systems immediately impacting eastern New York or western New England.
