Albany, NY – The National Weather Service (NWS) in Albany has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for parts of northern New York, warning of snow and ice accumulation through Sunday morning. The advisory is in effect from 1 a.m. to noon Sunday for northern Herkimer, Hamilton, Warren, Washington, and Fulton counties, where higher terrain is most at risk.
According to the NWS, a low-pressure system will bring light snow and a wintry mix to elevated areas tonight, with a 20–60% chance of snow accumulations over one inch and a similar probability for up to 0.1 inch of ice accretion. The Southwest Adirondacks are expected to see the greatest impact, particularly near Indian Lake, Newcomb, and Ticonderoga.
Officials warn that untreated roads may become slick, particularly overnight and into early Sunday. Visibility could drop quickly in heavier bursts of snow and freezing rain. Motorists are urged to slow down and use extra caution, as this marks the region’s first significant wintry mix of the season.
Forecasters note that the main uncertainty lies in the timing and placement of ice formation, but confidence remains high that the highest peaks will see measurable accumulation. Additional briefings will be issued as needed.
