Hazardous Weather: Freezing Rain, Patchy Ice

The National Weather Service has issued two statements:

• Winter Weather Advisory in effect from January 8, 07:00 PM EST until January 9, 10:00 AM EST
• Hazardous Weather Outlook

The biggest hazard tonight is freezing rain or drizzle, and icy spots on roads and walkways. 

Then, Friday and Saturday temperatures in the daytime will be in the low 40s. By Sunday, look for low to mid-50s.

Not that it’ll be nice to be outside: look for rain to go from scattered drizzle to downpour through the weekend.

“Saturday night – Sunday AM, soaking rain is likely. Temps will be too warm for snow or ice,” says Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.

But your furnace will have to crank back up soon.

According to AccuWeather Chief Long Range Meteorologist Paul Pastelok, “Blasts of cold air will sweep in over much of the Central and Eastern states next week.”

The pattern of cold air coming and going will continue be a theme for January.
