Ready for Round 2? Another Storm Hitting Central New York

Get ready for round two. Another storm is moving in Central New York, bringing more snow, rain, and strong winds.

The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory for Oneida and Madison counties. It's in effect from 10 PM Friday, January 12 to 6 AM Saturday, January 13.

25 to 35 MPH winds with 50 MPH gusts are expected with the strongest winds in the higher terrain and along north and west-facing slopes.

Gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result.

Little Snow, Lots of Rain

You won't need a shovel. There's only an inch or two of snow predicted. It'll change over to rain which may lead to localized flooding.

Once we make it through this second storm a third one is on the way, bringing more snow next Tuesday and Wednesday and the coldest temperatures of the season.
