Binghamton, NY – A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect across three central New York counties Thursday evening as accumulating snow threatens slippery roads through Friday morning, with up to 5 inches possible in higher elevations.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, the advisory covers Chenango, Otsego and Delaware counties until 1 p.m. EST Friday, Nov. 13, with hazardous travel conditions possible during both the Thursday evening and Friday morning commutes.
Up to 5 Inches Expected in Higher Elevations
Forecasters expect snowfall totals between 3 and 5 inches in areas above 1,500 feet, while lower elevations could receive between 1 and 3 inches.
Communities within the advisory area include Norwich, Oneonta, Delhi and Walton, where residents should prepare for accumulating snow and potentially slippery roads.
Snowfall amounts will vary depending on elevation, with the greatest accumulations expected across higher terrain.
Friday Morning Commute Could Be Slippery
The National Weather Service warns that hazardous conditions could affect travel Thursday evening and Friday morning.
Drivers traveling along local roads, rural routes and higher elevation roadways should use additional caution as accumulating snow creates slippery surfaces.
Motorists are encouraged to reduce speeds, increase following distances and allow additional travel time.
The advisory remains in effect until early Friday afternoon, meaning travel impacts could continue beyond the morning commute.
Residents Urged to Monitor Conditions
The National Weather Service recommends checking road conditions before traveling and avoiding unnecessary risks on snow covered roadways.
New York motorists can call 511 for updated road conditions and travel information.
Residents should continue monitoring National Weather Service forecasts as snowfall amounts and local conditions may change.
The advisory is scheduled to expire at 1 p.m. Friday unless extended or updated.
