Expect to encounter a little rain, and even some mixed-precipitation and the possibility of a little snow at the higher elevations. Tomorrow looks to be chilly, and blustery. Expect to encounter blowdown and keep an eye on the weather forecast.
Muddy conditions continue, especially in the Central Adirondacks including the High Peaks. The DEC mud season advisory remains in effect, so avoid hiking above about 2,500 feet, especially in the High Peaks, Giant Mountain, McKenzie Mountain and Sentinel Range Wilderness Areas.

Much of the region was hit with several inches of snow this week, and no doubt a few die-hards strapped on their skis for one last glide over the smoothest terrain in the Central Adirondacks where some areas received as much as 5 or 6 inches. That’s mostly gone now, or will be tomorrow.
Muddy conditions will remain for this weekend, although areas outside the Central Adirondacks and High Peaks remain dry enough for some good hiking. DEC mud season advisory remains in effect, so avoid hiking above about 2,500 feet, especially in the High Peaks, Giant Mountain, McKenzie Mountain and Sentinel Range Wilderness Areas.
