Waters will be rising slightly today and then begin falling through the weekend. Rivers and streams are at mostly normal levels for this time of year, but low-lying areas will be a bit wet.

Municipalities are looking to cut down on the amount of road salt that runs into the lake after winter snowstorms. One area of promise: using the high resolution weather forecasting to help plan for more targeted use of salt on the roads around Lake George. It uses a combination of land-based sensors, some of which use batteries or solar panels and buoys. That means Deep Thunder can quantify events like narrow rain bands or wind gusts that sweep across the lake.

That’s several times more detailed than what most weather forecasts such as those on TV offer. With Deep Thunder, they can paint a highly granular picture of weather conditions up and down the lake, said Harry Kolar of IBM Research.ĭeep Thunder can detect weather on a grid of about 1 kilometer, or just over a half mile.

While the project is gathering reams of data on the lake, the website's weather section may become one of the more popular sections, especially during summer. “This is really intended to provide a window into the project,” Siy said of the new website link. Anglers and swimmers can track water temperatures, sailors can get wind predictions and environmentalists can see how much algae or salt is in the water. Now, with the website up and running, anyone with an interest can track the various changes that occur.
