**** The information in this email pertains to the following areas only:**** *- In Connecticut: Litchfield County* *- In Massachusetts: Berkshire County* *- In Vermont: Bennington & Windham Counties* *- In New York: Albany, Columbia, Dutchess, Fulton, Hamilton, Herkimer, Montgomery, Greene, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Ulster, Warren and Washington Counties* Dear Emergency Managers and other partners, After a chilly weekend, we are closely monitoring a coastal system that may lead to freezing rain and/or sleet late Sunday night into Monday. Air temperatures Sunday night should fall into the upper 20s to near 32 degrees so freezing rain may result in a coating of ice on any untreated surfaces and adversely impact the Monday morning commute. The highest confidence in freezing rain occurring is in western New England including the Berkshires in western Massachusetts and Litchfield County, CT. There is less confidence in freezing rain occurring west of the Hudson River. Temperatures during the day Monday should gradually warm into the mid-30s allowing wintry mix to become mainly rain. The one exception may be the Greens, Adirondacks, and Catskills where wintry mix may continue. By sunset, rain could turn back to a wintry mix before ending early Tuesday. The main uncertainty with this event is not temperatures but rather if our region will experience precipitation. If the coastal low tracks further out to sea, our region may stay mainly dry.
