Is 1 Foot Of Snow Coming?

Long-range forecasts are good for planning, but really, it's too early to stress. Weather systems can change rapidly.

That's why most local weather experts avoid predicting the weather too far into the future.

Ben Noll says he's been flooded with "dozens of messages" from Hudson Valley residents wondering if there's going to be over a foot of snow next week, or in the future.

His answers were "no" or "probably not." Below are his predictions for the next six days:

Thursday: No.
Friday: No.
Saturday: No.
Sunday: No.
Monday: No.
Tuesday: Probably not.
Wednesday: Probably not.

Noll does say "it's true" there's a chance of a "little snow on Sunday morning" and "more" snow early next week.

"I’d never say never, but the odds for (a) huge storm bringing a foot of snow are quite low," Noll wrote.

Google's weather reports are powered by Gemini Nano. They come from global meteorological agencies. These include the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Met Office, European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), and Japan Meteorological Agency.

Early Thursday morning, Google predicted over about 6 inches of snow late Monday into Tuesday, with the majority falling on Tuesday.

Showing how quickly long-range forecasts can change, as I typed this article, Google's Weather app updated from 6 inches to less than 0.01 inches of snow.

Google is calling for 1 to 2 inches of snow on Sunday.
