Special Weather Statement Statement as of 4:28 am EST on January 7, 2005
Low pressure will develop over the Mississippi Valley today and track northeast. Clouds and precipitation out ahead of this low will quickly stream into the area tonight.
There should be enough cold air in the area for nearly all locations to see at least a brief period of mixed precipitation. Coastal areas may see some sleet mixing with rain for a time... before changing to all rain. If the clouds and precipitation are a little slower in arriving... temperatures could drop off to near the freezing mark. This could result in more freezing rain and sleet near the coast late tonight.
Further inland... temperatures are expected to drop below freezing... allowing for freezing rain and sleet there. By Saturday morning... it will have warmed up enough to change that precipitation over to all rain. Enough freezing rain is expected to fall to form a light glaze once again late tonight and Saturday.
Late night Friday and early Saturday morning travel could become quite difficult. Stay up to date on the progress of this storm system by listening to NOAA all-hazards weather radio.

... A Winter Weather Advisory in effect late tonight through early Saturday morning...
The National Weather Service in Upton NY has issued a Winter Weather Advisory.
Precipitation will move into the area late tonight. Temperatures will be near freezing when the precipitation begins... so freezing rain will occur in some areas... while slightly warmer areas will receive just plain rain.
The freezing rain will be fairly brief... and a changeover to plain rain in all areas is anticipated early Saturday morning. Caution is advised as freezing rain on any surfaces will be slippery.
