Where’s Spring? Winter Weather Advisory for Central New York

Where's spring? More winter weather is expected in parts of Central New York....in APRIL!

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for parts of eastern New York including northern Herkimer, Hamilton and northern Fulton counties. It remains in effect until 11 AM Thursday, April 3.

More freezing rain is expected across the region with an additional "light glaze" of ice accumulation, creating a slippery Thursday morning commute and slippery sidewalks and bridges.

"Slow down and use caution while driving. If you are going outside, watch your first few steps taken on stairs, sidewalks, and driveways. These surfaces could be icy and slippery, increasing your risk of a fall and injury."

Wind Advisory

A Wind Advisory is also in effect until 8 PM in Northern Warren, Hamilton, and Northern Herkimer Counties.

Wind gusts of 40 to 45 mph are expected and could cause scattered power outages.

So hang onto your umbrella, which you will need today with thunderstorms also in the forecast.
