*Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,*

*Wednesday afternoon into Thursday:* Winter Weather Advisories have been
issued for much of eastern New York and western New England. A period of
freezing rain is expected across the region Wednesday afternoon through
Thursday morning. The Wednesday evening and Thursday morning commutes could
be difficult depending on the exact timing of the freezing rain. The
precipitation will change to all rain over most areas Thursday morning.
Many locations could receive a tenth to a quarter inch of ice during this
time frame.

*Thursday - Friday:* Periods of above freezing temperatures, snow melt and
rain will lead to rises on area rivers. Although river flows are not
expected to reach flood levels on their own, river rises may be enough to
cause some ice break up and movement which could lead to some localized ice
jam flooding.

Please see attached briefing for further details on these winter hazards.
