**** 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, A change in the weather pattern will bring a period of milder, wet weather to our area tonight through Tuesday. Some precipitation in the form of light freezing rain or sleet will cause light icing over the southern Adirondacks tonight into early Monday morning. Temperatures will rise into the mid 40s to mid 50s in most areas Monday afternoon through Monday night with periods of rain likely. Rainfall totals across the area will vary from around 0.25 inches to 1.5 inches by Tuesday afternoon. The warmer weather and rain will cause the existing snow pack to partially melt by early Tuesday. The rain and melting snow will cause minor flooding in areas of poor drainage, and will also result in significant rises on area rivers. The most likely outcome along the rivers will be for many locations to approach minor flood stage by Tuesday afternoon, with a few locations possibly reaching minor flood stage. The extent of flooding will depend on how much rain falls and how rapidly the snow melts and this will need to be monitored closely over the next 48 hours. Colder air will arrive late Tuesday and Tuesday night, possibly changing the rain over to a period of light snow before ending. Some light accumulations and a rapid freeze-up may occur Tuesday evening resulting in areas of hazardous travel. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us via: 1.
