Dear Emergency Managers and Other Partners,

Mild temperatures and periods of rain are expected late tonight into Tuesday.  The rain may begin as a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain/drizzle for the southern Adirondacks tonight, with ice accretion less than a tenth of an inch expected (see ice graphic below).  Roads may briefly become slippery Monday morning there.  Temperatures are expected to rise above freezing later Monday morning.

Around 0.50 to 1.70" rain is expected across eastern New York and western New England Sunday night into Tuesday (see expected rainfall graphic below).  Wind and mild temperatures will likely result in some melting of the snowpack and runoff, which combined with runoff from the rainfall, will result in river rises.  Widespread flooding is not expected at this time, but some rivers may reach flood stage.  Some nuisance flooding is possible in urban and flood prone areas, especially where snow banks block storm drains. 

Rain is forecast to change back to snow Tuesday evening and some snow accumulation is expected Tuesday night.
