Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

A variety of weather hazards are possible this weekend.

A brief period of sleet and or freezing rain will be possible for areas
north and west of the Capital District Friday morning, with a light glaze
of ice possible. If the confidence in freezing rain increases, then A
Winter Weather Advisory will be issued.

In addition, a period of freezing rain is possible early Sunday morning
between midnight and 7AM over portions of the southern Adirondacks.

A strong storm system is expected to produce a widespread moderate to
locally heavy rainfall event across the region Saturday into Sunday. The
heaviest rainfall is expected across the southern Adirondacks, Mohawk
Valley and Lake George Saratoga regions. There is potential for river
flooding in these areas due to the combination of snowmelt and heavy
rainfall.  Also, a line of showers, with some thunderstorms possible, will
cross eastern New York and western New England Sunday morning. These
showers may bring a brief period of heavy rainfall and strong wind gusts.
These heavier showers may cause some localized urban and poor drainage
flooding on Sunday morning.

Please see attached forecast rainfall amounts graphic.
