Some much needed rain will be heading our way. It should start by late Thursday and not taper off until early Sunday. Keep the rain gear and umbrellas handy, as the rainfall will be frequent and widespread versus intermittent and scattered and it will also be locally heavy at times, too. Even though it has been dry, locally heavy rain could lead to some flooding in areas of poor drainage, low spots and urban areas.
Also it will turn much colder, as in BELOW normal cold by late Saturday into Sunday. Rain will probably mix with if not even change to snow over the higher elevations (AOA 1,500 feet) of the northern Adirondacks. It wouldn't surprise me if there were some minor accumulations here!
It will also turn windy over the weekend, winds may gust to 40-50mph across the #518wx from late Saturday right through most of Sunday.
