From the Forecaster
Rain and Snow To Close Out the Week - Widespread precipitation rain changing to snow in the high terrain is expected today. While rain will be the dominant precipitation type everywhere initially, a gradual transition over to a rain/snow mix is expected today before snow becomes the dominant precipitation type across higher elevations on tonight. Even valley areas could see some wet snowflakes mix in late tonight into tomorrow morning before precipitation tapers off.
Expected Snowfall Amounts - The greatest accumulations of snowfall will be over the highest terrain of the Southern Adirondacks, Eastern Catskills, and Southern Greens where 3-5 inches are expected. Winter Weather Advisories have therefore been issued for these areas above 1500 ft elevation. For valley areas, only a coating to an inch of snow is expected, mainly on grassy surfaces.
