Albany, NY – Freezing rain is forecast to arrive in the early hours of Saturday, creating hazardous conditions across the Northeast. Roads, sidewalks, and bridges are expected to remain icy throughout much of the day.
According to the National Weather Service in Albany, temperatures will hover near or below freezing in several regions, including the Mohawk Valley and the Upper Hudson Valley. These areas may be among the last to warm, leaving potential for icy conditions through Saturday afternoon.
