Weather Alert

...Dangerous Travel Conditions likely due to Snow Squalls and high
winds between 5 pm and 10 pm this evening across central NY and
northeast PA...

A strong cold front will blast across the region from late
afternoon into the evening hours. This front will be accompanied
initially by heavy rain which will quickly turn to a burst of
heavy snow as temperatures fall below freezing. A rumble of
thunder will be possible along with wind gusts up to 50 mph.

This combination will lead to near zero visibility at times and a
potential flash freeze on road surfaces creating dangerous travel
conditions.

The leading edge of the heavy snow squall will reach the Finger
Lakes, central southern tier of NY and the Syracuse, Utica and
Rome areas between 5 and 7 pm, the Twin Tiers of NY and PA to the
western Catskills between 7 and 9 pm and the rest of northeast PA
and Sullivan County NY around 9 to 10 pm.

Precautionary/Preparedness Actions...

Be prepared for brief whiteout conditions. This could lead to
dangerous driving conditions, especially on our interstates, the
NY State Thruway and northeast extension of the PA Turnpike. Icy
conditions are also possible on any untreated roads. If you are
traveling and encounter adverse winter driving conditions, reduce
speed and make sure headlights are on.

Pleasant day Thursday before the frigid weather this weekend

A seasonably nice day in store today, with highs in the lower 30s and sunshine moving in by the afternoon. This will end abruptly however by tonight.

Scattered snow showers will arrive ahead of arctic air plunging into NY overnight. Temperatures fall from the 20s by the late evening, down into the 10s, single digits, and possibly sub zero to start tomorrow. Now the really cold temperatures aren’t the biggest concern, but the wind chill. Most of Friday will feel below zero, with the coldest temperatures expected Friday night. Wind speeds between 10 and 20 mph will make temperatures feel between -15 and -30 for most of us, and higher elevations in the North Country as low as 40 below zero.

This surprisingly doesn’t last long though, we warm back up into the 30s by the end of the weekend and could reach the 40s by next week.
