Snow squalls and white out conditions in May? It's possible for Mother's Day weekend in central New York.

The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for Oneida and Madison counties.

May see a quick 1 to 3 inches of snow from the Catskills across the Southern Tier of New York into Northeast PA Friday evening. The higher end of this range is more likely in elevations over 1500 ft...with lesser amounts in the valleys.

Snow squalls are possible during the day Saturday with widespread lake effect snow showers. Gusty winds of 30 to 40 mph and brief near whiteout conditions are possible across central New York.

There should be another short wave that moves through on Saturday which will help keep the snow spread across a good portion of the region and not allow one corridor to get persistent snow.

Snow showers are expected to linger Saturday evening but start to taper off late Saturday night into early Sunday morning. Snow amounts will more than likely be less than an inch.
