and Wind Chill Warnings are in effect for the entire region through the
morning hours.  Additional wind chill advisories will likely be needed for
the higher elevations for tonight, as wind chill values will be as low at
15 to 30 below zero for tonight once again. See attached briefing for
details.

In addition, heavy lake effect snowfall is expected for the western
Adirondacks through tonight. Winter Storm Warning is in effect for northern
Herkimer County & Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Hamilton County
