Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

Winter Weather Advisories are in effect this morning through this evening
for most of eastern NY and western New England excluding the mid Hudson
Valley and Litchfield County primarily for light freezing rain.  Freezing
rain is possible even with air temperatures above freezing due to cold
surfaces and the dense snow pack.  The freezing rain will transition to
plain rain from south to north this evening into tonight.

A Flash Flood Watch has been issued for Litchfield County Thursday morning
into Thursday evening.  Heavy rainfall combined with some snowmelt and
runoff due to frozen ground could result in urban/poor drainage flooding,
minor river flooding, and isolated flash flooding.

Please see attached briefing for further details regarding the winter
weather advisories.
