Widespread, nuisance precipitation this afternoon through tonight will wet walking and road surfaces that will freeze overnight and pose potentially hazardous travel conditions for tomorrow morning`s commute. Snow beginning in the Southwest Adirondacks late this afternoon will linger through early Friday morning, bringing moderate snowfall accumulations and potentially difficult travel due to snow covered roads and reduced visibility at times. Additional chances for precipitation lie ahead for the weekend and into early next week, but significant impacts are not expected at this time.
