Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,
A storm system is expected to bring a long period of mixed precipitation to the forecast area Sunday evening into Tuesday. The main threat is from freezing rain, with up to half an inch of accretion possible. Light to moderate amounts of snow and sleet are also possible. The Winter Storm Watch has been expanded to the rest of eastern New York and western New England aside from the Hudson Valley from Albany south and southern Litchfield County.
Significant impacts are possible in the watch area, including power outages and difficult to impossible travel. There is high confidence in travel difficulties in portions of the watch area, but there is still a good deal of uncertainty in exact amounts of ice, sleet, and snow, and there is uncertainty about whether valley areas will see more rain or freezing rain.
Please see the attached briefing for details.
