Tailgates for Varsity/JV

Are you ready for some Football???? Loretta is still in search of some items for both tailgates. The varsity needs more gatorade for after the game and and the JV's are still in need of more items. Please check your emails for the specific items.

Varsity Tailgate at Roselawn! We will have two Buffet Tables set-up. One will be for the coaches, players and their families. The other one will be set-up for the families and guest of the players. This should speed up feeding everyone so they can get on the road!

Varsity.....bring your wool clothes....20-30 MPH winds, rain and wet snow are in the forecast.
Wild Weather Possible this Weekend (Updated Friday 11:30AM)

CNY Weather Update!

A storm system coming out of the Midwest Thursday will gather strength over the Mid Atlantic states on Friday afternoon and evening. It will proceed to lift northward over us and into Quebec on Friday night and Saturday, strengthening all the way. This will have significant implications on our forecast in three or four phases.
Heavy Rain
Some showers may arrive over CNY as early as this evening for some of our southern viewers. Rain develops night, possibly becoming heavy early on Saturday morning and into Saturday afternoon. At this time, our computer models are advertising anywhere from 1 to 2 inches of additional rainfall. Since we have seen significant rainfall this month, there is the possibility of flooding, especially in the Mohawk River basin. If you live along the Mohawk River, West Canada Creek, East Canada Creek or other streams and creeks that feed into the Mohawk that saw near-flood or flood conditions last week, you need to stay tuned to the forecast as renewed flooding could occur. Flood Watches are possible as well, so stay with wktv.com for the latest.
Wind
As this storm lifts off to the north, it will greatly strengthen. This will tighten the pressure gradient across Central New York, meaning a period of strong winds late Saturday and into Sunday. Winds are likely to be pretty strong here, sustained at 20-30mph, coupled with the heavy rain could cause some localized damage. Winds could gust as high as 40-55mph especially in some of the higher elevations. The National Weather Service has issued a high wind watch for Lewis County in effect from Saturday night into Sunday morning. I wouldn't be surprised if one was issued for the general viewing area later on today. We'll keep you posted.
Heavy Snow?
As this storm system moves over us and strengthens, the heavy rain we see could end as a brief period of heavy snow on Saturday evening, possibly providing a "surprise" accumulation across parts of Central New York.
Lake Effect Snow

Starting late Saturday night, the atmosphere will become favorable for lake effect snow to develop across the North Country, including the Tug Hill Plateau and western Adirondacks. Places like Old Forge, Boonville, and Camden could see their first significant accumulating snow of the season. The setup is favorable for heavy snow to develop Saturday night and linger for most of the day Sunday before slowly dropping south and weakening Sunday night and Monday. In terms of accumulation, it's far too early to say, but if our current computer model forecasts were to verify, 6-12" of snow would be possible in the North Country (Tug Hill/Western Adirondacks) on Sunday. For the rest of CNY, scattered snow or rain showers are possible Sunday afternoon, depending on elevation, but accumulation is not likely. There could be light accumulations of snow across the rest of CNY on Sunday and Monday morning however. Snow, combined with strong, damaging winds on Sunday will make travel extremely difficult in the North Country. If you have plans, stay tuned to the forecast for updates and changes today and Saturday.
