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.
