Gov. Kathy Hochul is urging New Yorkers to prepare for snow, freezing rain and ice that is expected to continue through Sunday for parts of the state.

A Winter Weather Advisory in effect for the North Country and northern parts of the Mohawk Valley and Capital District, while parts of Western New York and the Finger Lakes face a risk of severe thunderstorms. Some parts of the North Country could see up to seven inches of snow and more than a quarter inch of ice accumulation through Sunday.

Beyond the weekend, severe thunderstorms with damaging winds are possible, mainly across the southeast half of the state, on Monday.

“We’re expecting a series of winter weather conditions to hit parts of the North County, Mohawk Valley and the Capital District, and our agencies are prepared to assist as the forecast fluctuates across the regions this weekend,” Hochul said. “New Yorkers in these regions should monitor emergency alerts and their local forecasts to prepare themselves for the snow, freezing rain and ice accumulation.”
