Snow Showers Continue Across Upstate New York and Northern New England as Higher Elevations Face Up to 3 Inches While Forecasters Monitor Sunday–Tuesday Storm Threat
NEW ENGLAND — Snow showers are continuing across portions of upstate New York and northern New England this afternoon, with some activity expected to extend into the evening hours. According to the forecast update and radar imagery, additional accumulation ranging from a light coating to 3 inches remains possible, particularly across higher elevations and northern locations.
The radar map shows widespread snow coverage stretching from parts of western and central New York through Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, along with portions of southern Quebec.
Snow Bands Focused North and at Higher Elevations
The heaviest and most persistent snow appears concentrated across:
- Areas north of Albany and Saratoga Springs
- Portions of the Adirondacks
- Central and southern Quebec near Montreal and Quebec City
- Northern New England including parts of Maine
Lower elevations and southern areas are seeing lighter, more scattered activity, while terrain-driven snowfall is enhancing totals in elevated regions.
Forecast guidance indicates that up to 3 inches of additional accumulation is possible in the higher terrain, while many other areas may see just a light coating.
Backside Showers Continue Behind the Storm System
The ongoing snow is described as “backside showers,” meaning the precipitation is wrapping around the departing low-pressure system. This type of setup often produces bands of snow that rotate through northern sections before gradually tapering off.
Some snow showers may linger into the evening before gradually diminishing overnight.
Storm System Being Monitored for Sunday Through Tuesday
Forecasters are now turning attention to a separate storm system expected in the Sunday–Tuesday timeframe. At this point, impacts for New England remain uncertain.
The current outlook indicates:
- Storm track and intensity still being evaluated
- No confirmed impacts yet
- Further updates expected as the system develops
Given the active weather pattern shown on radar, any new system could potentially bring additional precipitation depending on how it evolves.
What Residents Should Expect
For now, the primary concern remains localized accumulation in elevated and northern areas, along with potentially slick travel conditions where snow bands persist.
With another system under watch for early next week, New England’s winter pattern remains active, and residents should continue monitoring forecast updates.
