Albany, NY – Freezing rain is forecast to move into eastern New York and western New England late Friday night, potentially causing hazardous travel conditions. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory effective 1 a.m. Saturday.
According to the National Weather Service in Albany, ice accumulation of less than a tenth of an inch is expected. Precipitation will begin as freezing rain before transitioning to light rain by the afternoon. Untreated roads and sidewalks may become dangerously slick, especially early in the morning.
Residents in Albany and surrounding areas are urged to use caution while traveling and prepare for potential delays. While the ice accumulation is expected to be light, even a thin coating can create hazardous conditions.
