The latest Storm Tracker forecast from meteorologist Kevin Appleby:

High pressure slides in and brings colder air, windy conditions and brighter skies this afternoon in early February. After a very cold start to Sunday, clouds will rise in front of another Clipper system set to bring another slightly nuisance snowfall to parts of our region. Overall, the first week of February has active weather with temperature fluctuations, both hot and cold.

Mohawk-Hudson-Convergence-induced snow must be packed at lunchtime with up to 2 inches of snow possible. Temperatures last almost stable, if not a few degrees fall during the day despite being increasingly sunny. Wind will be gusty, which makes it feel like it’s in the individual digits and teens all day long.

We lose the wind tonight, but with clear sky in large parts of the night, temperatures will fall quickly, near or below zero. Cloud covering is rising until Sunday morning.

This trend continues until we get clouded on Sunday afternoon in front of another cliff system set to bring a period of light snow/snow showers to our region Sunday night. Temperatures will slowly but steadily climb into the 20s, with high temperatures achieved late in the day.

Snow will filter in from the vest just before sunset (despite what our futurecast is projecting, we will not see any mixed rainfall tomorrow night). It is a quick shot of snow where many areas see flurries or completely dry weather at midnight.

Monday morning commuting must be unobstructed, but travels on Sunday night may be tough as it is when we pick up our forecast 1-3 inch of Snow Albany north to Glens Falls. This prognosis also includes much of Berkshires and southern Vermont, I-88-Nord in Schohari County, much of the Mohawk Valley and the southern Adirondacks. Further south/north is up to an empty snow on the tap.

A wave of milder air will follow up this snow for Monday. A combination of the warmer air and scattered rain (and for some northern areas, snow) showers should erode any accumulation we see on Sunday night. Colder, drier weather follows up a troubled Monday with high temperatures near or below freezing.

Most guides hold on Wednesday, but a few members are trying to speed up what I am currently predicting for Thursday – another storm that probably produces entire winter equipment types around our region. We will especially keep our eyes peeled on that storm and its ice potential. Colder, Breezy Weather follows this up to Friday.
