This weekend in the Adirondacks

It’s been a pretty nice summer so far weather-wise, and aside from the chance of a shower, and some nighttime temperatures dipping into the 40s on Saturday night, it promises to be another nice weekend for outdoor adventure.

We’re looking at another nice weekend, though we could see a shower on Sunday afternoon. It will be warm again, so carry plenty of water and pace yourself.

It’s going to be nice weekend, though keep an eye out for isolated afternoon showers or thunderstorms. Carry plenty of water and pace yourself, although they dipped to near 50 last night in the hollows, temperatures will be mostly 80s this weekend, nearer 90 on Sunday.

It’s going to be a hot and humid weekend. Pace yourself, and be sure to carry and drink plenty of water. Temperatures are expected to reach well into the upper-80s to mid-90s, with a high dew point.

The weather looks good for this weekend, although thunderstorms are always possible at this time of year. So keep an eye on the weather, especially if you are headed to higher elevations, or onto the region’s waters.

Expect popular parking and camping areas to fill early. Parking rules are being enforced along Route 73, limiting spaces there. If you are headed to the High Peaks, have alternatives ready in the event legal parking is unavailable over this busy weekend, especially at the Adirondack Mountain Reserve parking lots. The Garden Trailhead is only accessible by the Keene Shuttle from Marcy Field, 7 am to 7 pm.

Next Thursday is the Fourth of the July, so expect busy weekends from now through Labor Day Weekend, especially at popular parking and camping areas.

Yesterday's heavy rain and severe weather is giving way to a dry weekend, but DEC's Mud Season Advisory remains in effect for areas over 2,500 feet. Trails everywhere are very muddy, some water crossings will be difficult, or impassable.

Some showers are possible, and the Mud Season Advisory remains in effect for areas over 2,500 feet. Until conditions dry out at higher elevations, those looking for a challenge can visit one of the lower-elevation, less visited remote areas of Adirondacks.

We’re expecting a sunny and warm weekend, one of the nicest of the season so far, although trails remain very muddy from recent rains and waters remain high.
