Hurricane Ian not expected to impact local weather
Mike Goodwin reports in the Times Union that Hurricane Ian will probably not impact the upper Hudson Valley much. After moving inland Sept. 30 in South Carolina, the storm is predicted to head northwest, and then back east into the Atlantic Ocean. A Canadian high-pressure system dropping into the United States is expected to keep it away from our area. "Right now, the high pressure is winning," Andrei Evbuoma, a weather service meteorologist based in Albany, said on Sept. 29. If anything, a few rain showers could hit the southern Hudson Valley from what will then be remnants of the once-powerful hurricane. Of course, the storm has surprised forecasters a few times so far, so the predictions could be wrong. Read the full story in the Times Union.
