[ALB Stormreport - NOAA Service Account]

*** 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,

*Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,*

A Wind advisory has been issued from 1 pm Friday to 1 pm Saturday for the
Mohawk Valley, southern Adirondacks, Capital District, Helderbergs and the
Schoharie Valley.   The wind advisory may need to expanded later if
confidence increases for wind advisory gusts for other parts of the region.

*Tonight - Tomorrow:* 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. The potential for isolated ice jam flooding continues into
Friday.

In addition, some lake effect snow may impact the western Adirondacks, and
western Mohawk Valley Friday afternoon into Saturday morning.  Winter
Weather Advisories may be needed later in time.

Please see the attached briefing for additional details on the Wind
Advisory.
