Round two? Another winter storm is on the way to Central New York to wrap up the work week and it could be one sloppy mess.

We dodged a bullet with the latest winter storm. Snow accumulations were a lot less than first predicted, with most areas only seeing a few inches. But the National Weather Service says there is the potential for another impactful winter storm Friday into Saturday.

Weekend Winter Storm

The Friday morning commute should be fine but the ride home could be tricky. Precipitation is predicted to move into Central New York around midday. And we may see a bit of everything - snow, sleet, and freezing rain.

Conditions will be cold enough for snow initially, but conditions become messy quickly.

The storm should move northward across the region throughout the day with the wintry mix possibly becoming just rain late Friday night. Snow is expected to continue through the weekend though.

There are uncertainties with this system, so totals will change as details continue to get worked out throughout the rest of the week.

If snow, sleet, and freezing rain aren't enough, strong, gusty winds are also expected, leading to blowing snow and blustery conditions.
