A complex double-barrel low pressure system will continue to impact our region today, bringing a mixed bag of precipitation changing to rain in valley locations and heavy snow and a wintry mix across the higher terrain of the Catskills, Green mountains, and the Berkshires. The upper level low will only slowly move across the region through Thursday with scattered rain and snow showers continuing, potentially bringing additional snow accumulations in the higher terrain. Drier and chilly weather will return into the upcoming weekend.
