* WHAT...Mixed precipitation expected. Total snow and sleet accumulations up to two inches and ice accumulations of a few hundredths up to three tenths of an inch. * WHERE...Portions of northwestern Connecticut, western Massachusetts, eastern New York, and southern Vermont. * WHEN...From 5 PM this afternoon to noon EST Friday. * IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the Thursday evening and Friday morning commutes. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The greatest accumulations of ice will fall at the higher terrain regions of the Southern Adirondacks, Eastern Catskills, Southern Greens, Taconics, and Berkshires. A cooler trend with this system has reduced ice accumulations within the Mohawk Valley, Capital District, and Upper Hudson Valley. In these areas, the potential for freezing rain still exists, but for a shorter duration of time. Sleet now looks to be the primary wintry precipitation type in these areas overnight. This will still make for slick conditions particularly for the early morning commute tomorrow morning.
