Local weather forecast
Today's forecast is specific to Catskill, in Greene County:
The National Weather Service has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook. A potent storm system is expected to impact the area through today, from the Capital Region southward. The potential for some river flooding and tidal issues along the Hudson will be closely monitored. Strong southeast winds may also develop, especially in areas where channeling occurs. As the storm system is expected to only gradually pull away during the weekend, a prolonged period of upslope snow showers may set up over portions of the region. Additional snow accumulations are possible.
Today: Rain before 10 p.m., then a chance of rain and snow showers. High near 42. Breezy. Chance of precipitation is 90 percent. Rain into the evening, turning to a mix of snow and rain overnight. Cloudy. Low around 31.
The outlook for the next three days:
Saturday: Combinations of rain and snow showers most of the day. Cloudy. High near 37. Increasing winds through the day; could gust as high as 29 mph. Northwest wind with gusts up to 28 mph possible. Mostly cloudy overnight. Low around 25.
Sunday: Mostly sunny. Northwest wind with gusts as high as 26 mph. High near 38. Partly cloudy overnight. Low around 22.
