Expect an elevation variation of snow accumulation through Friday morning
Key Points:
- The rainy system transitioning to snow is affecting Central New York, particularly in higher elevations, as of Thursday sunset.
- Snow accumulation on roads will be challenging due to prior wet conditions and temperatures near or above freezing in lower elevations.
- Snow is expected to stick more easily on non-road surfaces like lawns, trees, and vehicles, especially in higher elevations and overpasses.
- Northern, northwestern, and western parts of Central New York will receive less precipitation compared to southern and southeastern areas.
- After snow tapers off Friday morning, intermittent sunshine will occur before additional light snow, rain, and graupel showers develop later in the day.
