Untreated wet or slushy roads may ice over tonight resulting in slick roads tonight into Friday morning.

Rain develops today, then changes to wet snow this afternoon-evening; first at highest elevations of Central NY and working down from there. While accumulations will not be much (and mainly higher terrain), any untreated wet or slushy roads could ice over tonight as temperatures plummet below freezing.

Snow amounts are expected to range from under an inch at lower elevations, to a few inches in the higher terrain of New York. However, untreated wet or slushy roads may ice over tonight as much colder air and gusty winds overspread the region. This may result in slick roads tonight into Friday morning.

NWS says: The changeover from rain to snow will take several hours for most locations into the afternoon and even late afternoon hours. Still higher elevations in NY could see an inch or two by sunset with flakes in the air by sunset...

Tonight, steady snow should end early across the region... Lows tonight should fall into the 20`s. Refreezing of water on roadways will be a concern tonight that could lead to some slick spots.

On Friday, a cold day...after any lake effect snow showers taper off. Highs temperatures will struggle to hit 30 in many locations. To add insult to injury model soundings show potential for some 20 mph wind gusts in the afternoon with wind chills in the 10`s.
